What We Do: Full-Service Precious Metals and Coin Experts in Central Texas
For over 40 years, our family-owned and owner-operated shop has been Central Texas’s most trusted destination for buying, selling, and appraising precious metals and coins. While some shops specialize in just one aspect of the industry, we offer comprehensive services tailored to individual collectors, estates, investors, and institutions alike. Here’s a closer look at what we do—and what sets us apart.
We Buy Precious Metals
Whether you’re selling gold bullion, silver coins, platinum bars, or even mixed lots from a collection, we pay top-dollar based on real-time market pricing. We don’t cherry-pick or lowball. Our model is built on volume, not margins, so we can offer fair and competitive rates that often exceed what’s available at pawn shops, national mail-in services, or commission-based dealers.
We purchase:
- Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion, bars, rounds, etc.
- U.S. coins containing silver
- Certified coins (PCGS, NGC, etc.)
- Scrap gold and silver
- Jewelry, broken or intact
- U.S. paper money dated 1920 or older
We Sell Precious Metals
Looking to invest in gold or silver? We stock one of the largest inventories in South Central Texas, including a wide selection of bullion coins, bars, and rare numismatics. Whether you're buying your first silver round or assembling a six-figure investment portfolio, our inventory is deep, immediate, and priced with transparency.
We carry:
- Gold Eagles, Buffaloes, Maples, Krugerrands, Bars and much-much more
- Silver Eagles, bars, rounds, and U.S. silver coins
- Investment-grade platinum and palladium
- Numismatic coins and historic U.S. coinage
We Appraise
We are appraisal specialists, offering detailed evaluations of bullion, coins, jewelry, and estate holdings. This includes helping clients understand not just metal value, but collectible and historical value as well.
We help our clients understand condition, rarity, and potential value before deciding to submit coins for certification.
We Buy Jewelry and Scrap
Unlike many coin shops that only deal in pure bullion, we also purchase:
- Gold and silver jewelry (broken or whole)
- Sterling flatware and serviceware
- Dental gold
- Industrial scrap
We test, weigh, and evaluate each item in-house, and our offers are based on real-time spot prices—not inflated weight estimates or vague appraisals.
We Offer Onsite Appraisals
For estates, collections, or high-value holdings stored off-site, we provide onsite appraisals at your home, office, bank, or safety deposit box. We regularly work with:
- Family estates and inherited collections
- Business holdings and investor portfolios
- Attorneys and fiduciaries handling probate or trust distributions
These visits are discreet, secure, and conducted by our senior team members—not outsourced reps or commissioned agents.
