What to Bring (and What to Leave Alone)
This page is the logistics. Category pages explain karat and coins. Here is the visit:
- The lot, unsorted. Jewelry boxes, coin jars, and mixed drawers belong together. Sorting “scrap” at home is how premiums get left behind.
- Photo ID if you intend to sell. We buy outright; we still need to know who we are paying.
- Watch extras only if they are easy to grab — box, papers, extra links. Do not delay a visit hunting for a dusty inner box.
- Leave the polish at home. Dip, toothbrush, and “just a little Brasso” on coins or silver can cost more than they help.
The form is for estate timing, referrals, and questions you would rather not shout from the parking lot. For a standard cash-for-gold visit, walking in is faster than emailing.
Planning Your Visit
Do I need an appointment to sell gold in Hickory?
Not for a standard bag or box. Walk in Monday–Saturday, 9AM–6PM. Call first for estates, house calls, or several watches.
What should I bring?
The items (unsorted is fine), photo ID if you plan to sell, and watch boxes or papers if you have them. Do not polish coins or repair jewelry first.
How long does an evaluation take?
A handful of pieces is usually quick. A jewelry box or coin collection takes longer. We would rather be accurate than rushed.
