Spot is the going market rate for a troy ounce of pure metal. Treat it as a yardstick, not an offer.
Four steps from first call to your decision
No pressure and no surprises. A spouse, a grown child or a friend is welcome to sit in.
-
Give us a rough count
Call or send the short form: gold, silver or both, and about how many ounces or pieces. A form request gets a call back during business hours.
-
Book a weekday
We see sellers Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, by appointment. Very large holdings can be split over two sittings if you prefer.
-
Weigh and confirm together
Every bar, round and coin is looked over and weighed with you watching, and we explain each figure as it comes up.
-
Decide piece by piece
Take the offer, pass on it, or sell a few tubes and keep the rest. Nothing is decided until you say so.
Photos make planning easier
The request form takes up to four photos. Close-ups of the stamps, the weight, the fineness and the maker's name, help the most. Send Photos
Three things that set a bullion offer
Collector interest rarely plays a part. The metal and the marks that describe it carry nearly all the weight.
-
Troy weight
One troy ounce is about 31.1 grams, heavier than the ounce on a kitchen scale. Bullion is always counted in troy ounces.
-
Purity
Fineness is marked in thousandths. A .999 stamp means 999 of every 1,000 parts are pure metal; .9999 is finer still.
-
Clear markings
A maker, a weight, a fineness and sometimes a serial number. When every mark is sharp and they all agree, a piece confirms quickly.
Gold and silver are figured apart
An ounce of gold is worth many ounces of silver, so a small gold coin and a big silver bar can end up close in value. Each metal is weighed and worked out on its own line.
Coins, bars and rounds we buy
Gold or silver, any mix, any size. Tubes, boxes, sleeves and loose pieces are all fine.
-
Government bullion coins
Gold and Silver Eagles, Gold Buffalos, Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, Britannias and Philharmonics, from tenth-ounce coins up.
-
Bars
Gram-size gold wafers through hundred-ounce silver bricks. Poured bars have a rough top; minted bars are flat with crisp edges.
-
Rounds
Private-mint pieces shaped like coins but with no face value. They are bought for their weight and fineness alone.
Ready to sell part of your stack?
Call or send the short form with the metal and a rough count. We set a weekday time and weigh everything with you, at the office, your home or your bank.
Name-brand bars and no-name bars
Both sell. The difference is how quickly the metal can be confirmed.
Major refiners and national mints
- Names like PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Perth Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, Johnson Matthey and Engelhard
- Serial numbers that match the card
- Sharp weight and fineness stamps
Generic or homemade pieces
- Smaller private mints or no visible maker
- No serial, card or box
- Bought on weight and fineness once confirmed
An unfamiliar maker is not a red flag
It just means we spend a little more time checking the metal before we talk numbers. Mention poured or unmarked bars when you call so we can plan for it.
Checking bars, rounds and bullion coins with you
-
Name what is on the table
Step one is naming each piece: the coin, date and mint mark, or what is stamped on the bar or round.
-
Weigh metal in plain sight
You watch the display on every weighing, start to finish.
-
Sort collector value from metal value
Silver mostly comes down to weight times purity. If a coin has collector pull on top, you will hear about it.
-
Show our math, then you choose
We lay out how the number was reached. Accept, pass, or sell only the pieces you want to part with.
Bullion sellers often ask
Should I break open the assay card to show you the bar?
No, keep it sealed. The card, its serial number and the bar inside support one another, and opening it only removes that link.
I only have a few fractional Gold Eagles. Is that worth an appointment?
Yes. Tenth, quarter and half-ounce coins are bought on their gold content just like full ounces. A short appointment is fine.
Do you buy foreign bullion coins?
We do. Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, Britannias, Philharmonics, Pandas and similar coins are judged on weight and fineness.
My bars came from a dealer that closed years ago. Does that matter?
Not much. Once the metal is confirmed, a bar from a small or defunct maker is valued on its weight and fineness like any other.
I do not have the original receipts. Can I still sell?
Yes. Receipts help if you have them, but they are not required. Tell us what you remember about where the pieces came from.
Can we meet at my bank instead?
Yes. We meet at our private McKinney office, your home or a secure location such as your bank. A bank is often the easiest choice for a heavy or valuable holding.
Packing up for the appointment
- The bullion, still in its tubes, boxes, sleeves or capsules
- Assay cards, unopened
- Receipts or invoices, if they are handy
- A valid photo ID
Hands off the polish
Silver tones with age, and some coins show small white spots. Cleaning does not add metal and can leave scratches, so bring pieces as they are.
Keep tubes capped and bars in their sleeves until we meet. Loose bars rattling in a bag pick up dings.
Good to mention on the phone
- Sealed Mint boxes. A green box of 500 Silver Eagles is quick to tally, so just give us the box count.
- Graded bullion coins. A slabbed Eagle can draw collector interest beyond its metal. Keep the slab closed.
- Poured or unmarked bars. These take longer to confirm, so a heads-up helps.
- Where to meet. A heavy holding is often easier at your bank or your home than in a car trunk.
Who usually calls about bullion
Mostly people who bought metal for the metal, not as collectibles, or who inherited it.
- Longtime stackers trimming a position, or selling it all.
- Families who opened a safe while settling an estate. The estate coins page lays out how that usually goes.
- Anyone holding Eagles, Buffalos, Maple Leafs or Krugerrands in tubes, boxes or loose.
- People whose bullion shares a box with older coins. Pre-1965 silver is on the silver coins page, and pre-1933 U.S. gold on the gold coins page.
Bullion sellers from Frisco, Plano and nearby

Bars and rounds are one shape precious metal takes. For coins and jewelry, see selling gold and selling silver.
