§ 04

Before you sell here

  1. 1

    Know your metal floor before you walk in.

    Gold is — and silver — an ounce right now. Our offer checker shows what your coins are worth in metal and whether an offer is fair.

  2. 2

    Know Pennsylvania's seller rules.

    Pennsylvania's Precious Metal Sale Regulation Law excludes coins, ingots and bullion. ID and record requirements under that law apply to covered gold, silver and platinum items, such as jewelry and silverware; municipal requirements and shop policies may differ.

    Covered items must remain unaltered for five full working days after the purchase report is filed.

    Source: Precious Metal Sale Regulation Law, Act 17 of 1984, sections 1-5 and 8, 37 Pa. Code Chapter 501, Purchase and Sale of Precious Metals · All Pennsylvania rules

  3. 3

    Call ahead for anything bigger than a few coins.

    Ask whether the person who prices collections is in that day, and whether they pay by cash for larger amounts.

  4. 4

    Get a second offer.

Questions to ask Lehigh Valley Gold Buyer

We couldn't confirm these from public sources, so ask before you go:

  • What would you pay today for a 1 oz American Silver Eagle, and for $1 face value of pre-1965 silver? (Ask two shops the same question to compare.)
  • Is an appraisal free, or free only if I sell to you? Do you put it in writing?
