How bullion offers are figured
Bullion is priced on metal. We confirm what each bar, round or coin is made of with non-destructive testing, weigh it on a calibrated scale, and work the offer from the live spot price for gold or silver. Your written list shows each item on its own line, so a stack of Silver Eagles and a single gold bar never get blended into one round number.
One American Silver Eagle at today’s spot price
31.103 grams × 99.9% silver = 0.9990 troy oz × spot $57.49 = $57.43 in metal
Melt value only. Collector value, when a coin has it, is priced separately and shown to you at the table.

Selling in Philadelphia
Selling a bullion stack in Greater Philadelphia
A lot of the bullion in Greater Philadelphia was bought slowly. Someone picks up a few Silver Eagles a year starting in 1986, or adds a gold coin whenever the price dips, and thirty years later there is a heavy box on a closet shelf in Mayfair or in a safe-deposit drawer in Bryn Mawr. Selling that box should take a lot less time than building it did.
A few hundred ounces of silver weighs more than most people expect, and it is a real load to carry down a narrow rowhouse staircase in South Philly and then across town in the back seat. For larger holdings and estates you can ask about a home visit. For everything else, we set a private place to meet when you book, and nobody else is in the room while you unpack.
Testing comes first, because counterfeit bars and fake bullion coins do circulate, and some of them were first bought through online marketplaces or from strangers at a good price. We confirm metal with non-destructive testing, with no acid and no scratching, so a bar keeps its stamp and finish and a coin keeps its surfaces. Then each piece goes on a calibrated scale, because a fake can carry the right stamp and still come up light. You watch both steps, and you can ask about any reading you see.
Some of what people call bullion turns out to be something else. A pre-1933 double eagle sitting in a tube of Gold Eagles may carry collector value of its own. A proof coin sold by the Mint to collectors can be worth more than the same design in its plain bullion version. We pull those pieces aside before anything is priced, so a better coin never gets bought as metal.
Once the testing and weighing are done, you get a written offer with each bar, round and coin on its own line, tied to the live spot price. Accept it and you are paid the same visit, by cash, check, or wire for a larger sale. Turn it down and the whole stack goes home with you, along with the written list. If you plan to sell, bring a government-issued photo ID.
We work with sellers in the city and in Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties, as well as around Cherry Hill, the Trenton and Princeton area, and Wilmington. Call 215-798-9204 to set a time, and we will return your call the same business day.
Questions
Common questions
How do you price silver and gold bullion?
We start with the live spot price for the metal, then confirm purity with non-destructive testing and weigh each piece on a calibrated scale. The written offer lists every bar, round and coin on its own line. You can see how weight and purity lead to the number, and you can compare it with any other quote you get.
Will testing damage my bars or coins?
No. We use non-destructive testing, which means no acid and no scratching. A bar keeps its stamp and finish, and a coin keeps its surfaces. That matters if you decide to keep a piece or sell it somewhere else later. The testing happens at the table while you watch, so nothing is done out of your sight.
Do you buy bars and rounds from private mints?
Yes. We buy gold bars, silver bars and silver rounds along with government bullion coins like Gold Eagles, Maple Leafs, Krugerrands and Pandas. Private mint pieces are judged on their stamps, weight and test results. If you still have the original packaging or assay cards, bring them, though we can test the pieces without them.
I have a lot of silver. Can you come to me?
For larger collections and estates, ask about a home visit when you call. A few hundred ounces of silver gets heavy fast, and many sellers in the city and the suburbs would rather not haul it around. For smaller amounts, we set a private meeting place when you book. Either way, the evaluation is free and carries no obligation.
How will I be paid for my bullion?
If you accept the written offer, we pay you the same visit. Cash and check are the usual choices, and we can wire funds for larger sales. Bring a government-issued photo ID to complete the sale. If you decline, you keep every piece along with the written list, and there is no charge for the evaluation.
