Gold

Many people have gold jewelry or other items that they never use. Instead of letting them gather dust, sell them while prices for gold are high. You'll be shocked at what you can get for:

• Scrap gold.
• U.S. Gold Eagle coins.
• Gold bullion.
• Chains.
• Charm bracelets.
• Class rings.
• Wedding bands.
• Necklaces.
• Gold from dental fillings.

Fine Jewelry

You can sell all types of jewelry at Americash Jewelry & Coin Buyers. We're particularly interested in designer jewelry. We also like to purchase estate jewelry from the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau periods. If you have a broken gold, silver, or platinum chain or an old earring without a mate, bring it to us. You can get rid of some clutter in your jewelry box and get paid!

Diamonds

When you sell a diamond or diamond jewelry at Americash Jewelry & Coin Buyers, one of our professional appraisers will evaluate it based on its cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. The cut's grade is based on: 

• Brightness or the amount of light reflected.
• Fire or the color level from reflected light.
• Sparkle.
• Scintillation or the pattern of light and dark areas.
• Durability.
• Polish.
• Symmetry.
• Weight ratio.

 The GIA grades color in diamonds from D, completely colorless, to Z. Clarity levels range from flawless for perfect to included for diamonds with obvious flaws, and carat weight measure size. If you already have another GIA appraisal for your diamond, you can bring it with you.

Coins 

We buy coins locally and nationwide, and we specialize in rare coins and currency. We're interested in:

• Coin collections.
• U.S. Currency from 1929 or earlier or with a high denomination.
• U.S. silver certificates from 1957 or earlier.
• Proof sets.
• All U.S. gold coins.
• Rare U.S. silver coins.
• Morgan and Peace dollars.
• Half dollars from 1970 or earlier.
• Quarters and dimes from 1964 or earlier.
• Pennies from 1958 and earlier.
• Nickels from 1938 and earlier and from 1942 through 1945.
• Foreign coins made from gold, silver, or palladium.

Free coin appraisals are available, and the values of coins depend on their condition, date, and rarity. To avoid damaging your coins, don't clean them and store them separately from each other.

Watches

We buy modern and vintage wristwatches and pocketwatches. We're a longtime member of the International Watch & Jewelry Guild (IWJG) and the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC). We buy many different brands of modern watches that originally cost over $1000. We're also interested in watches with unusual shapes, gold or platinum watches, and chronographs with multiple small dials on the face and more than one button on the side. Railroad grade pocket watches and those that chime to indicate the time are also highly desirable.

Silver

We buy silver jewelry, sterling flatware, Franklin mint sets, tea sets, .999 silver bars, and industrial silver used for contacts, wire, and other parts. We also buy antiques like thimbles or picture frames and U.S. silver dollars, dimes, and quarters minted before 1965. If you're not sure if an item is real silver, just take it to one of our silver appraisal experts.

Collectibles 

Along with precious metals, watches, diamonds, jewelry, and coins, we look for a variety of antiques and collectibles. You can sell lithographs, original oil paintings, crystal from brands like Waterford, signed prints, and more. We also buy modern and vintage sports memorabilia like: 

• Baseball cards.
• Basketball cards.
• Signed jerseys or sporting equipment.
• Trophies.
• Championship rings.

The price we offer depends on the condition of the item, whether it's autographed, its rarity, and the popularity of the team, athlete, or event. To maintain the value of your item, store it in an airtight case and keep it away from sunlight or water. 

Repair Services

A broken clasp on your favorite necklace or a ring with a loose stone can keep you from wearing and enjoying the items, and you may be worried that damage could lower your jewelry's value. Fortunately, you can get your jewelry repaired for a great price at Americash Jewelry & Coin Buyers. We offer free estimates, and your jewelry will never leave the store while it's being repaired. We can conduct a variety of repairs and alterations, including:

• Antique or estate jewelry repair, and restoration.
• Chain repair, lengthening, tightening, or restoration.
• Clasp repair or replacement.
• Gem setting.
• Jewelry cleaning or polishing.
• Restringing necklaces.
• Ring repair, resizing, or restoration.
• Stone tightening or replacement.

We specialize in repairing luxury, vintage, and pocket watches as well. Repair costs depend on the brand, the parts needed, and the number of labor required. We can repair or replace many different watch parts, including the band or wristband, battery, buckle, crown, lug, stem, and watch face. 

Let us know the make and model of your watch and the issue you need repaired. We can let you know whether we can handle it and how much it will cost. By choosing a trusted professional to fix your items, you can avoid accidental damage from trying to make a repair yourself.
