What We Buy
Sell an Estate or Collection in Hickory, NC
Jewelry boxes, coin albums, bullion lots, and full estates — private appointments and house calls for Western North Carolina families, executors, and attorneys.
An estate is rarely one ring. It is a buffet drawer, a safe-deposit envelope, a coin album, and a watch that has not been wound in a decade. Gold King buys those mixed collections in Hickory — from $100 lots to $100,000+ — with the same rule as a single walk-in: we sort in the open, we explain, we pay cash for what we buy.
You do not have to sell every object in the house. We purchase the gold, silver, platinum, jewelry, coins, bullion, and luxury watches we evaluate. Private appointments and local house calls are available when the lot will not fit in a shopping bag.
Collections are the job — not a footnote
Marty did not open a Hickory shop only to buy one chain at a time. Coin albums, proof sets, junk-silver bags, jewelry boxes, flatware services, and bullion accumulations are the lots that need a specialist. We sort gold from silver from plated. We look for key dates before anything hits a melt number. We keep the conversation private.
Downsizing families, adult children cleaning a parent’s house, and executors all bring the same fear: selling too cheap because the lot looks messy. Messy is normal. Unsorted is fine. That is the work.
House calls, appointments, and what we do not buy from an estate
Walk-ins still work for a box you can carry. When the collection fills a closet, call. We set a private time in the showroom or come to the house in Western North Carolina. Bring photo ID for any purchase.
We buy precious metals, jewelry, coins, bullion, and luxury watches. We do not make pawn loans against the estate. We do not buy plated costume lots as gold. For category detail, use gold, silver, jewelry, and watches — then bring the mixed lot anyway. We would rather see it together.
Coin albums: how a collection gets looked at. Jewelry boxes: leave them unsorted.
Estates and Collections in Hickory
Do you buy collections, or only single items?
We buy coin collections, jewelry boxes, bullion lots, mixed drawers, and full estates. Unsorted lots are welcome and often safer than cherry-picking at home.
Do you make house calls?
Yes. Private appointments and local house calls are available for large collections and estates across Western North Carolina. Call to arrange one.
Do you work with executors and attorneys?
Yes. We regularly help executors, trustees, and attorneys document and sell estate gold, silver, jewelry, coins, and watches.
Do I have to sell the entire estate?
No. We offer on the pieces we buy. You can accept all, some, or none of the offer.
What should I not do before an estate evaluation?
Do not melt, polish coins, or split “scrap” from “keep” unless you are certain. Bring photo ID for any sale. Call if the lot is large enough for a house call.

My husband and I had inherited some gold jewelry and real silver coins from our grandparents that neither of us was interested in keeping. I didn’t want to take it to a pawn shop so after a little research I found this place online. We decided to give him a try based on the reviews. Walked in without an appointment and I am so glad we did. He definitely knows his stuff and offered a VERY fair price on what we had! Marty and his wife were both super friendly and paid on the spot! Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to get rid of gold or silver that you no longer want.
