| About Gold, Silver, Coins, Watches |
| |
| Gold |
| Usually Stamped 10K, 18K, - Brought by the pennyweight (dwt). There are 18.2 dwt to the avoir oz. or 20 to the troy oz. Dental gold must be yellow and is usually around 16k. Items stamped 1/20 12k - H.G.E. are gold plated and worth very little. We will be happy to test items that look like gold and are unmarked. If there are diamonds or other precious stones in the item brought in, we will add their value to the weight of the gold. |

| Silver |
| Items mus be stamped "Sterling" .925 - .900 - .800. Many items stamped Sterling are weighted with plaster and must be broken to get the true weight. Knives which have sterling handles are figured at 1/3 - 1/2 oz. each. |

| Coins |
| U.S. 90% silver coins are dimes, quarters, or halves dated 1964 or older. U.S. 40% clad coins are halves only dated 1965-1969. War Nickels are dated 1942 - 1945 with large mint marks only. Silver dollars were minted up to 1935. We buy all early U.S. & foreign coins and paper monies, but coins that are damaged in any way are almost unsaleable. The better condition the higher the price. We particularly want to buy the gold coins. |

| Watches |
| Gold watches made in the last 20 to 30 years are probably worth their weight in gold only. Hunting case watches (flip Covers) that are working or repairable are valuable. Repeater watches which chime the time are very valuable often worth over $1,000. Old silver watches are also worth a premium. Particularly valuable are Rolex; Cartier; Tiffany; Omega; Patek; Phillipe; Piaget. |
