  • Excellent customer service, very professional and discrete

    "I first went to Florida Gold Exchange about a year ago, at their Fort Lauderdale location and it was nothing like I had expected. Everyone was so nice and helpful. They could tell it was my first time selling gold and they took the time to educate me about the process." Anne M. on Facebook

We don't buy platinum jewelry, costume or plated jewelry, grain/shot, circuitboards, recovery silver, stamps, or paper currency.

While we gladly purchase jewelry containing stones, our offer is based purely on the metal value. Whenever possible, we'll attempt to remove and return larger stones when purchasing your item.
We buy all gold alloys, including yellow, black, white, rose, and tri-color gold.

Depending on the type and number of items you're looking to sell, you'll have an offer in as little as five minutes.

Large lots with many items can take significantly longer, and an appointment is recommended.

For "scrap" metals such as jewelry, raw gold, and sterling flatware, our offers are based on the weight, their purity, and the spot market price of the contained metals.

For most coin and bullion products, we also consider condition, packaging, year, certified grade, and other factors.

We use state inspected certified legal for trade scales to weigh your items. For single items weighing over 1200 grams, we may use high-precision scales which are not certified legal for trade.

"Solid" gold jewelry has the same metal content throughout.

"Plated" gold jewelry consists of a thin layer of solid gold applied over a base metal such as copper. Plated jewelry typically has very little fine gold content, and the cost of refining it can be greater than the value of the gold contained.

Common gold plating methods include gold fill, electroplating, and roll plating. Plated pieces are often marked "GF", "GP", "KGP, "HGE", or "RGP."

All sales are final. However, our offers are made at no obligation, and we'll gladly provide a written quote if you need time to consider.
Yes! We'll gladly test your items at no cost or obligation.

Most solid gold jewelry contains a karat stamp such as "10K" or "14K". Jewelry manufactured outside of the US will often bear "fineness" markings such as "417", "585", or "750" rather than a karat stamp.

However, some authentic gold jewelry is unstamped. In other cases, gold-plated jewelry has been stamped and sold as solid gold by a dishonest jeweler. We may use X-ray fluorescence or simple chemical testing to identify or confirm the metal content of marked and unmarked items.

If you see a stamp like "GF", "GP", "KGP, "HGE", or "RGP" on gold jewelry, this indicates that it is gold-plated.

Except for certain types of chains, solid gold and silver jewelry should not be magnetic. Use a strong neodymium magnet to confirm that your items are not magnetic.

While solid silver jewelry can tarnish, solid gold jewelry cannot. You can also examine gold jewelry for copper or silver colors showing through in well worn spots, which typically indicate plating.

In almost all cases, authentic silver jewelry will be stamped "925" and will not be magnetic. If you have silver colored pieces that are not stamped, or they are stamped but magnetic, it is unlikely that they are silver.

We perform non-destructive electronic testing on coins and bullion bars. If your coin is in a case, we typically do not need to remove it.

For heavy or unstamped gold jewelry, we may need to file, drill into, or even completely cut the item before finalizing the purchase. In these cases, we can first provide you with an offer.

For items containing large stones, or gold watches containing workings, we can provide a minimum offer by deducting from the gross weight of the item to account for this material. Should you wish to proceed with the sale, we will remove any non-precious-metal material and re-weigh the item.

We offer payment via cash, Zelle, check, ACH transfer, and wire transfer.

Cryptocurrency payment options coming soon!

When selling in person, we issue cash, check, or Zelle payments on the spot. ACH and wire transfers will be issued the same or next business day.

Cryptocurrency payments (coming soon) may take up to one business day, though your exchange rate won't be affected.

When selling by mail, payments are processed the same or next business day you accept our offer.

For in-store sales of jewelry and other "scrap" forms of gold and silver, we will make every effort to issue your entire payment in cash if requested. If you are anticipating a large cash payment, please contact us before coming in.

Cash payment isn't available for items which were shipped to us, or when we are purchasing goods at an off-site event or appointment.

Cash payments greater than $10,000 require the filing of an IRS Form 8300.

When selling coins or bullion, we typically only pay up to the first $1,000 in cash. If you would like to receive full payment in cash, please contact us before coming in.

Yes. We do not purchase from anyone under the age of 18.

If you sell us certain quantities of certain types of one ounce bullion coins or bars, we're required to file IRS Form 1099-B regardless of the form of payment. Trade-in transactions are exempt from 1099 reporting.

Florida law regulates the sale of "secondhand goods," which include jewelry, flatware, and certain other items we buy. Coins, bullion, and dental material are not considered secondhand goods.

If you are selling items which are not secondhand goods, such as coins, bullion, or dental material, we will ask for your name and any other basic contact and banking information necessary to issue payment.

When selling secondhand goods, Florida law requires the presentation of a government-issued photo ID. We must also collect certain other identifying information as required by law.

If selling any type of precious metals by mail, you'll need to enter your name, phone number, email address, home address, government-issued identification number, and date of birth into our secure online portal.
Florida state law requires us to provide local law enforcement officials with access to records of secondhand goods purchases for up to three years.

We accept cash, cryptocurrency (coming soon), Zelle, wire transfer, ACH transfer, certified checks, debit/credit cards, and digital wallet payments (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay).

We also accept coins, bullion, or scrap precious metals as trade-in credit toward an invoice.

Some payment methods are subject to fees or transaction limits. See our Payment Policy for details.

We offer complimentary authentication at pickup. Our primary verification tools include precision scales, the Sigma Metalytics PMV Pro, and the Niton XL2 XRF Precious Metals Analyzer.

Our minimum order is $500 per metal.

Coins which are legal tender in the USA are exempt from the order minimum, though a small order fee may apply to purchases under $500.

No. Our minimum order amounts meet the threshold for non-taxable precious metals sales in Florida.

Our online catalog has fulfillment estimates for most products. We'll confirm your fulfillment date when you order.

Some items may be available in limited quantities for immediate pickup when paying with cash, Zelle, credit/debit card, or digital wallet. See our Payment Policy for details.

Yes! We offer free insured FedEx or UPS shipping on qualifying orders. For smaller orders, shipping is $25. You'll need to be present to sign for the delivery. We can't ship to PO boxes or to addresses outside of the United States.

We source from precious metals distributors including US Mint Authorized Purchasers, secondary market wholesalers, refineries, and the public.

We continue to develop new vendor relationships in order to bring you the best pricing, selection, and availability.

We'll gladly issue a full refund if we're unable to fulfill your order within (3) business days of your latest estimated fulfillment date. To learn more about our sales policies, check out our sample Sales Agreement.
Prior to making a payment, you can cancel an order without penalty for any reason. After any payment has been made, you cannot cancel without penalty. To learn more about our sales policies, check out our sample Sales Agreement.
We accept precious metals for credit toward the purchase of any gold, silver, platinum, or palladium bullion products.

We accept gold or silver of any kind or condition. This includes coins, bullion, jewelry, dental gold, raw gold, sterling silver flatware, and more.

We also accept platinum and palladium bullion coins and bars. In some cases, we may accept platinum jewelry.

Trade-in value is based on the metal content of your items, the quantity you are trading, and current spot market prices. For coins and bullion, we also consider the brand and condition when determing trade-in value.
