Buying Gold and Selling Gold? The Answers to Common Questions

At  Bellevue Rare Coins, our business is buying gold and selling gold, as well as rare coins, silver, jewelry, and antiques. Every day, people come into one of our five locations with questions about how to start investing in precious metals—or how to turn the valuables they have into cold, hard cash.

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

We’ve put together a list of answers to some of the questions we’re most often asked. Read on to learn the ins and outs of buying and selling bullion, antique jewelry, rare coins and more.

Do I need to make an appointment to bring in my valuables for evaluation?

Nope. We welcome walk-in visits but if you like an appointment you can book one here. You can stop by any of our locations during normal business hours Monday – Saturday 10 am – 6 pm.

How can I find our your current prices for gold and other valuables?

The price of gold (and of any precious metal) varies every day, minute to minute, just like stocks in the market. Click here for current bullion prices on our website or just give us a call. We’ll be happy to talk about buying and selling gold, silver, rare coins and your other valuables.

I’ve already had an appraisal done; should I bring it with me?

You bet. No paperwork is required when selling your jewelry, but if you had an evaluation done by someone else or other documentation, we encourage you to bring it in. We have G.I.A.-certified jewelry consultants on staff to serve you.

Do you purchase silverware and flatware?

Yes. Just bring it by and we’ll have our precious metal experts evaluate your silver pieces for you and tell you how much they’re worth. If you ever have a question about whether we would purchase a specific item, bring it in and if it has silver in it—chances are, we will!

I’m bringing in some sterling silver flatware; should I have it cleaned first?

Not unless you really want to. There’s no need to go to the trouble of having your sterling silver cleaned before bringing it in. And if you have some old coins you’d like our experts to evaluate, please don’t clean them—it can actually reduce their value.

Do you make custom jewelry?

Yes, you can book a custom jewelry design appointment here, you can also stop by our Bellevue location where our accredited jewelry experts can help you design your dream piece.

These are just a sampling of the questions we get asked all the time. If your question hasn’t been answered here, don’t be shy—send us a message or come by and we’ll be happy to discuss any aspect of buying or selling precious metals, rare coins, diamonds, jewelry and more.
