Gold Coins
We offer investment-grade gold coins including American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, and rare numismatic pieces. Our inventory spans bullion coins for portfolio diversification to collectible specimens with historical value. Each purchase includes expert guidance on market value, purity, and investment potential, with daily updated pricing that eliminates online markups and shipping fees.
Cash for Gold
We provide immediate cash offers for gold jewelry, dental gold, scrap gold, and gold watches. Our evaluation process considers purity (10K-24K), weight, and current market rates while paying extra for embedded diamonds or luxury brands. Customers receive transparent breakdowns of pricing calculations and avoid the risks associated with bank transactions that typically don't handle precious metals exchanges.
Jewelry Appraisals
Our certified gemologist evaluates diamonds, luxury watches, and precious metal jewelry for sale or insurance purposes. We assess diamonds using the 4Cs (carat, color, clarity, cut) while determining precious metal purity at 58.3% (14K) to 99.9% (24K) accuracy. This service helps clients understand their assets' true market value before making selling decisions.
Silver Bullion
We sell silver bullion bars and coins at competitive rates with no minimum purchase requirements. Our inventory includes government-minted products like American Silver Eagles and privately produced bars. Investors receive daily spot price updates and educational resources explaining how physical silver holdings hedge against inflation compared to paper assets like stocks or ETFs.
Rare Paper Money
We specialize in collecting and trading rare paper currency including misprinted bills and 19th-century proof sets from American and Canadian issuers. Our experts authenticate items through security features like watermarks and serial numbers while explaining historical context that determines collectible value. Sellers receive immediate cash offers without commission fees.

Questions
Should I buy gold coins or gold bars?
Bars preserve quantity-based wealth, while coins may have premium values based on mint, condition, and rarity factors.
Where do you get the best price for gold?
Local dealers like us provide better total value than online options when factoring in shipping fees and hidden markups.
Can I buy gold for $100?
Consider silver 1oz coins at this investment level due to current market rates making smaller gold denominations challenging.
How much should I pay for gold/silver per ounce?
Values change daily - contact us directly for the most current spot pricing on all precious metals.
Do banks accept gold for cash?
Almost never. We buy precious metals for cash on-site six days weekly at our Fair Oaks location.
How to buy gold for the first time?
