Which tool answers "what is it worth right now"?
Precious metal value moves all day, so none of these pages carry a printed number. Each one reads the live market feed and does the arithmetic for the weight and purity you type in. If you only have five minutes before you visit, this is the section to use.
- The live gold price page is the reference point for every gold item on this site, quoted per ounce, per gram and per karat.
- Silver price today does the same job for coins, flatware and bars, which are priced on the same live feed.
- Platinum price today covers the metal most sellers forget they own, usually in an old ring shank or a wedding band that was never gold.
- Jewelry is rarely pure, so 10K gold today and 18K gold today break the live price down by the karat stamped on your piece.
- The gold calculator and the silver calculator take a weight and a purity and return a live melt figure before you leave the house.
- For a silverware chest, the sterling silver calculator is faster; for a jar of pre-1965 change, use the silver coin melt calculator.
- Selling broken chain by weight instead of by piece? Scrap gold value per gram explains how that math is built.
- Gold price history and silver price history are for the seller deciding whether to move now or wait, with the long view rather than today's tick.
What sets the value of the gold you already own?
Almost every gold question comes down to three things: what the metal is actually doing today, what purity your piece tests at, and whether the item is worth more as an object than as metal. These pages take the common cases one at a time.
- What is my gold chain worth is the single most asked question at our counters, and the answer turns on the karat stamp and the scale rather than the style.
- What is dental gold worth covers crowns and bridges, which are real gold alloy and are bought the same way scrap is, porcelain and all.
- What is my Krugerrand worth explains why the world's most traded gold coin prices almost purely off its ounce of gold.
- If you want the physics rather than the price, gold facts collects the properties that make the metal behave the way it does on a test plate.
- Coin and bar owners can go straight to the American Gold Eagle guide, the PAMP Suisse bar guide, or gold biscuit pricing for the smaller Asian bar formats.
- Buying rather than selling is a different conversation: our bullion counter page covers what we stock, buy gold near me covers the walk-in side, and why buy bullion from us lays out how our buy side is priced.
Is your silver sterling, plated, or a coin?
Silver is the category where sellers are most often surprised in both directions. A heavy plated tray can be worth almost nothing while a plain drawer of old coins can carry real weight. These pages sort the difference before you load the car.
- What are silver coins worth starts with the only question that matters for United States coinage: the year, and therefore whether the coin contains silver at all.
- What is sterling silver flatware worth explains how a service is weighed, why knife handles are treated separately, and what the hallmarks mean.
- Silver certificate dollar value is for paper rather than metal, covering the 1935A and 1957 series notes that turn up in most inherited paperwork.
- For the underlying properties, silver facts is the companion to the gold page above.
- Selling a coin collection instead of a few pieces? Read selling silver coins in New Jersey first.
Which coins are worth more than their metal?
This is the part of the counter where melt value stops being the answer. Date, mint mark, grade and error status can multiply what a coin brings, and the collector check always happens before any bullion offer is made. Start with the coin you actually have.
- The coin shop page is the overview of what happens when you bring coins in, and coin appraisers in NJ covers the free walk-in appraisal itself.
- What is a Morgan dollar worth and the longer Morgan dollar value guide handle the most common inherited silver dollar in the country.
- Kennedy half dollar value matters because only certain years contain silver, and the rest are worth face value.
- Rare quarters worth money and bicentennial quarter value cover the key dates and the silver years in the quarter series.
- Susan B Anthony dollar value is the honest answer to a coin that many owners have been told is rare and usually is not.
- The 1909-S VDB wheat penny is the one cent genuinely worth stopping for, and the rare pennies list shows the rest of the dates to check.
- Error coins worth money explains mint mistakes, coin grading explained covers what a certified holder actually certifies, and US Mint coins is the seller's map of modern issues.
- Two more specifics that come up often: Liberty head dime value and the paper money value guide for the notes that come with most coin estates.
Bring one piece or the whole box. Testing is free, the evaluation happens in front of you, and there is never any obligation to sell.
