Coins and bars often carry weight, purity and manufacturer markings. These details are useful, but physical verification may still be required.
Keep Packaging and Certificates
Original packaging, bills and certificates can support identification. Do not open sealed packaging unless the evaluator explains why it is necessary.
Verify Weight and Purity
The evaluator may check dimensions, markings, weight and composition. Ask to see the readings and the applicable buying rate.
Collector Value
Commemorative or rare coins may have value beyond their gold content. Seek a specialist opinion before selling only by weight.
