Gold and silver, bought and sold
Bars, rounds and government-issue bullion coins, in both directions, across the same counter.
Metal is metal, but the form it is in still matters
Bullion is valued primarily on the metal it contains, which makes it simpler than collectible material. Simpler is not the same as identical: the form a piece takes, the mint that produced it and how recognizable it is all affect how easily it trades.
Government-issue coins tend to be the most widely recognized. Private mint bars and rounds are common and perfectly ordinary. Older or unusual pieces sometimes carry collector interest on top of their metal content, which is worth knowing before you sell something as scrap.
Condition, rarity and the market all move, so no price is quoted on this website. Bring the material in and we will look at it with you.

Four things worth knowing first
Some bullion is also collectible
Certain older or low-mintage pieces carry collector value above their metal. Have it looked at before treating it as scrap.
Keep the packaging
Original tubes, capsules, assay cards and mint packaging are worth keeping with the pieces.
Do not polish it
Bullion does not need cleaning, and cleaning can hurt anything with collector interest.
Bring it all at once
Sorting through a position in one visit is faster and gives a clearer picture than several partial trips.
Looking after metal you are holding on to
Silver tarnishes. That is a chemical reaction with the air, not damage, and on bullion it does not meaningfully affect what the metal is worth. Resist the urge to polish it bright.
Keep pieces in their capsules, tubes or original packaging where you can. Handling bullion coins by the edges is a good habit, and an essential one for anything with collector interest.
Where and how you store it is your business, and not something to discuss in an email or put in a form.
Questions we get about this
Sterling and scrap silver are normal material here. Bring it in and we will sort through it with you.
Sometimes. Certain older or low-mintage pieces carry collector value on top of their metal content, which is exactly why it is worth having looked at rather than assumed.
No. Tarnish is normal and does not meaningfully affect bullion value, and cleaning can hurt anything with collector interest.
Regularly. A great deal of bullion arrives through estates and from people who bought it years ago and never thought about it again.
