Walk in, or call first
Atlantic Avenue traffic being what it is, most people call ahead. Either works. Nothing needs an appointment.
Bring it to the counter in Delray Beach or have us come out to the property. Gold, diamonds, coins, china and antiques get tested, weighed and graded while you watch, and paid for the same visit.
Six categories cross this counter every week, and they rarely arrive one at a time — a drawer of gold turns up with a coin album and somebody's wedding china behind it. Where a piece needs a specialist instead, it goes to one we trust: watches, antiques, or the auction houses when a lot genuinely belongs under a hammer.
Scrap, bullion, dental gold and broken pieces — tested and weighed in front of you, priced against the spot rate on the day you sell.
See what we look forLoose stones and mounted pieces graded on site, with the colour, clarity and cut explained before any number is put on the table.
See what we look forEstate and designer jewelry, signed and unsigned, in any condition — from single earrings to whole collections.
See what we look forAmerican Gold Eagles, silver rolls, foreign accumulations and inherited albums, sorted piece by piece rather than valued by the pound.
See what we look forFurniture, porcelain, bronzes, clocks and the contents of whole rooms, priced against the market that actually exists for each piece.
See what we look forLifetime accumulations — stamps, militaria, art, memorabilia, musical instruments — where the value sits in a handful of pieces most buyers walk past.
See what we look for
Chains, rings, dental gold and broken pieces, tested and weighed while you watch.
Loose stones graded on site, with every grade that moves the price explained.
The United States bullion standard since 1986, bought at every size and date.
Estate and designer pieces, signed or not, in whatever condition they survived in.
Case pieces, dining suites and the heavy things nobody wants to move twice.
Coins, stamps and lifetime accumulations, sorted rather than weighed.
The case is not only for selling into. There is usually gold available for purchase as well — coins, bars and estate pieces that reached this counter through families rather than a distributor.
Atlantic Avenue traffic being what it is, most people call ahead. Either works. Nothing needs an appointment.
Gold gets tested and weighed, stones go under the loupe, coins get sorted by date and mint mark. You stand on the other side of the same counter the whole time.
Karat, weight, spot, spread — or grade, carat, market. Whichever applies, the number is built in front of you rather than announced at the end.
No countdown, no manager brought over to save the deal. People walk out to think about it and come back a week later all the time.
Cash or a check the moment you agree. Wire for the larger ones. Paperwork comes with it either way.
The scale reads toward you. So does the tester. Ask what a number means at any point and the evaluation stops until you have the answer.
Nothing is charged for looking, nothing is held back as commission, and the figure quoted is the figure paid.
Licensed appraisers who can tell you why a 1908 half eagle is not the same coin as the one beside it, and what that does to the price.
What crosses this counter stays between the two sides of it. Every transaction leaves with documentation you can hand to an accountant or an executor.
People come in from Boca and Boynton on a Saturday morning; for a full household we drive out instead, as far north as West Palm and as far south as Miami. Neither direction costs anything.
No. Most estate jewelry in this county predates certification entirely, and grading it is what we do anyway. A GIA report saves us fifteen minutes and sometimes improves the offer, but its absence is not a discount.
Acid test, or an electronic tester on the pieces where that reads cleanly. Both take under a minute. Ten, fourteen and eighteen karat get separated properly — the shortcut of paying everything at ten karat is exactly what we do not do.
Date by date and mint mark by mint mark. It takes an hour or two for a serious album and it is the whole difference between a fair number and a weight-based one. A single 1916-D dime can carry an otherwise ordinary collection.
Please do not. Polishing removes metal and takes the patina off, and on a Georg Jensen or a Tiffany piece that costs real money. Bring it tarnished — we would rather see it that way.
Quoted before you decide, along with the spot we are working from at that hour. It moves with the coin and with how much of it is on the shelf, and there is no version of this where you find out the margin afterwards.
You can, though it is usually the wrong move. A complete service is worth considerably more than the sum of its plates, and breaking one up tends to strand the remainder. We will tell you what each option pays.
Photo ID, and the items. Florida requires the ID for precious metal transactions. Boxes, papers and receipts help where they exist, but nothing is turned away for missing them.
A ring can often be given a range over the phone. Anything with stones, dates or a maker's mark needs eyes on it — bring it in, or send photographs and we will tell you whether it is worth the drive.
