Selling your metal, and what you should be paid

How the process runs

You call, we quote against the live bid, and the price is locked when you accept. Nothing about the number changes after the parcel arrives.

• Tell us the product and quantity — we quote on the phone
• Lock the price; we email written confirmation
• Ship insured with our prepaid label, or we settle direct from the depository
• Payment by wire or check within one to three business days of verification

What you are actually paid

Bullion trades close to the spot bid. Widely recognized sovereign coins and standard bars command the tightest spreads because they need no authentication. Numismatic and proof coins bought at heavy premiums are where owners take the real loss — the premium rarely survives resale.

Selling from inside an IRA

For metal held in a self-directed IRA, we settle with the depository and custodian directly. Proceeds return to the IRA — no distribution, no tax event — unless you specifically request a distribution.

What we will tell you honestly

If your holding is worth less than you were told when you bought it, we will say so and show you the numbers. If holding is the better decision, we will say that too.
