Being green; recycle your gold for ca$h.

I'm not a magician, but I can turn your gold into a pile of ca$h!!!

It's the right time to recycle your gold jewelry. The price of gold tends to rise when the economy is doing poorly. Over the last two years, gold prices have risen roughly an astounding 70 percent! Though the price has dipped since reaching record highs, gold still shines infinitely.
Gold and silver are markedly recyclable. By selling your gold and silver to be refined and “recycled” we continue to be globally and ethically conscious while making you money! Gold has been recycled since ancient times. Once gold comes out of the ground, it never goes back in. It's used over and over again. Unlike paper money, you can’t reprint gold.
The kind of gold you can sell ranges from inexpensive gold trinkets to dental gold to solid gold coins and fine jewelry. Simple or broken gold jewelry, as well as parts of a set, are best for selling as scrap. If your gold contains diamonds or is a designer piece, you will get a better price if you sell them as jewelry.

Gorham Sterling Silver - Silverware Set Service 12
As the price of silver is rising quietly, heads are turning to silver as a better investment option than its more expensive older brother gold. We are seeing many clients bring in their silverware, flatware, candle holders, coins, and all silver items. Flatware sets are fetching from $700 to $7000 depending on the make, model, rarities, weight, and condition. The picture we have depicted above is of a Gorham set. Gorham is one of the most famous silverware companies, and regarding as the king of silverware. The company was founded in Providence, Rhode Island. Long Island silverware owners have been cashing in on their fine silverware and flatware sets, and silver is hovering around $35/Ounce

Rare Coins, Gold Coins, & Coins Coins Coins!

A nice collection we recently purchased of Coins
There are a bunch of different factors which go into what a coin is worth. For instance an old morgan dollar that usually comes into one of our shops has a few factors which will determine its final value. The weight of the silver coin is the preliminary factor which has an effect on the price. Next, the mintage year and number of coins minted in that year will have a huge impact on the worth of the coin. There are coins which look exactly the same but the difference of an 1882 and 1883 coin could be THOUSANDS of dollars! Next is condition, there are many different grading scales that many numismatic experts follow and it can get very confusing. We like to grade according to the standards of reputable companies such as NGC and PCGS. In our New York and Long Island shops, we see over 1000 coins a week, and are constantly grading, pricing, evaluating these rare beauties of our clients. One tip we have for sellers is that when you are trying to sell your old coins, rare coins, US and Foreign coins - please do not WASH the coins or POLISH them prior to bringing them in. Just the other day a woman brought a rare coin into our Northport, Long Island location and she polished a coin which would have been worth around $1400 and now is only worth around $350. So please, call us if you have any more questions about selling your coin collection in one of our locations in NY, LI, Nassau/Suffolk/Queens.
