What we buy · Gold Coins & Bullion
Selling Gold Coins and Bullion
Bullion is the simplest thing to sell because there is nothing to argue about. The weight is known, the purity is known, and the price is public.
No appointment needed. No obligation to sell.
Live metal market
This is the market your offer is calculated against — not a chart printed last week. Your items are tested and weighed at the counter, and the arithmetic is done in front of you.

Before you sell
What to watch out for
The one thing worth checking first is whether a coin is worth more than its melt. Some dates, mints and grades carry a numismatic premium well above metal value. A buyer paying melt on a rare coin is not cheating you, but you have lost the premium. If you think a coin might be special, say so before you sell it.
At the counter
How this one is valued
A coin or a bar is two questions, answered in that order. First, is it what it says it is. That is verification rather than a purity test: diameter, thickness and weight against the mint's published specification, then a conductivity or ultrasound check on anything sealed or heavy. Recognized issues and refiner bars clear that in seconds because their specs are public. Second, and separately, is the piece worth more than its metal. Nothing is weighed for melt until the second question has an answer.
How we handle it
- Eagles, Maples, Krugerrands, Britannias, Philharmonics and sovereign issues all handled.
- Refiner bars — PAMP, Valcambi, Perth, Credit Suisse, RCM — verified quickly.
- Priced against live spot, so you can check our number against the market yourself.
- We will tell you if a coin looks worth more than melt.
Said plainly
When it is worth more than the metal
Often, and this is the category where it matters most. Pre-1933 US gold, Liberty and Saint-Gaudens double eagles especially, and more so with a branch mintmark, trades as a collectible across much of its range rather than as metal. Proof and burnished Eagles are collector issues, not bullion. So are low-mintage commemoratives and first-year strikes. Anything already sealed in a graded holder should be researched before it is sold to anyone, us included. A common-date one-ounce Eagle or a Valcambi bar is simply metal, and that is fine.
What not to do
Before you bring it in
Do not clean a coin. Not with polish, not with a cloth, not with a pencil eraser. Cleaning leaves hairlines a grader reads instantly and it cannot be undone. Leave bars in their assay cards and coins in their tubes, flips and slabs, because sealed packaging is part of what verifies them. Bring the dealer invoice if you kept it. Then shop the lot. Bullion is the easiest thing there is to get a second quote on, and you should. Make us your last stop when shopping around, and we will beat any written offer.
Bringing it in
Sealed tubes and original assay packaging speed everything up. Loose mixed coin takes longer to verify but is equally welcome. Large positions are worth a call ahead so we have the cash on hand.
The market right now
These are live spot prices per troy ounce. They are the starting point for the arithmetic, not the offer — see what your gold is worthfor how a counter price is actually built.
Bullion trades per troy ounce of fine metal, and gross weight is not fine weight. A Krugerrand weighs more than an ounce because it is 22 karat, and still holds one ounce of gold. A sovereign holds about 0.2354 of an ounce, not a quarter. Ask whether a number you are quoted is per coin or per ounce of content.
FAQ
Common questions
- Will you tell me if a coin is collectible?
- Yes. If a piece looks worth more than melt we will say so rather than buy it as scrap.
- Do you buy fractional coins?
- Yes — tenth, quarter and half ounce, and sovereigns.
- Should I call ahead for a large amount?
- Please do, so the funds are ready when you arrive.
- Can I check your price against the market?
- Yes, and you should. Spot is public and the ticker on this page is live.
- Do you buy generic rounds and unmarked bars?
- Yes. Recognized mints verify fastest because their specifications are published. A generic round or an unmarked poured bar takes longer, and a large one may need assay before a firm number. Bring it either way.

Where our sellers come from
Our counter
Galt Ocean Mile
Our Fort Lauderdale counter is on this stretch of North Ocean Boulevard. For the oceanfront towers here it is a walk, and estate jewelry from these buildings is a large part of what crosses the counter.

5 min
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Minutes north on A1A. A older, settled population means estate lots rather than one-off pieces — often a full box after a house is cleared.

6 min
Coral Ridge
Six minutes south along Federal or Bayview. Many Coral Ridge sellers are downsizing rather than liquidating, which usually means sorted, well-kept pieces.
Explore →
9 min
Oakland Park
Straight west on Oakland Park Boulevard, and the easiest approach during season when A1A backs up.

12 min
Wilton Manors
A short run inland. We see a lot of watch and designer-piece questions from here, where the brand often matters more than the metal.

Downtown Fort Lauderdale
The Las Olas and downtown corridor. Convenient at lunchtime, and the reason we hold weekday hours rather than weekend-only.
