One of the key advantages of precious metals is their liquidity — they can be sold quickly to any reputable dealer.
The Process
1. **Contact your dealer** and describe what you want to sell 2. **Receive a quote** based on current spot price minus the buy-back spread 3. **Ship or bring in** your metals for verification 4. **Receive payment** typically within 1–3 business days via wire or check
What Affects Your Sell Price
- Spot price: The primary driver of your sell-back value
- Product type: Sovereign coins command higher buy-back prices than generic rounds
- Condition: Damaged items may receive reduced prices
- Quantity: Larger quantities may receive better pricing
Tips for Sellers
- Get quotes from multiple dealers
- Keep original packaging, tubes, and assay cards— they affect resale value
- Do not clean coins or bars
- Understand that dealers buy below spot (the bid-ask spread is their margin)
