How much will my jewelry sell for?

The amount your jewelry will sell for depends on several factors, including:
 

  1. Quality and Condition: The overall quality, craftsmanship, and condition of your jewelry significantly impact its value.

  2. Materials: The value of the metals (gold, silver, platinum) and gemstones (diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, etc.) used in your jewelry.

  3. Brand and Designer: Jewelry from well-known brands or designers often has higher resale value.

  4. Market Demand: Current market trends and demand for specific types of jewelry can affect the selling price.

  5. Age and Rarity: Antique and rare pieces can fetch higher prices due to their uniqueness and historical significance.
     

To get an accurate valuation, bring your jewelry to our Needham Coin and Jewelry store in Needham.

Sell Gold

How much is gold worth when sold?

The value of gold when sold depends on several factors:
 

  1. Current Market Price: The price of gold fluctuates daily based on the global market. Checking the current spot price of gold gives you a baseline for its value.

  2. Purity: Gold purity is measured in karats, with 24 karats being pure gold. The higher the karat, the more valuable the gold.

  3. Weight: The weight of your gold items, usually measured in grams or ounces, will directly impact the selling price.

  4. Condition and Form: The condition of the gold and whether it is in the form of jewelry, coins, bars, or scrap can influence its value. Certain forms, like coins or designer jewelry, may carry a premium.
     

To get an accurate valuation and competitive offer for your gold, bring it to our Needham Coin and Jewelry store in Needham. Our expert staff will evaluate your gold based on these factors and provide you with a fair market price.

Should I sell my coins online?

Selling coins online can be convenient, but it comes with some risks you should consider. Here’s what to consider before deciding:


Risks:

  1. Scams and Fraud: The online marketplace can be prone to scams and fraudulent buyers. It’s crucial to use reputable platforms and verify buyers before completing a transaction.

  2. Shipping Risks: Shipping valuable coins carries the risk of loss or damage. Proper packaging and insurance are essential, but they add complexity to the sale.

  3. Fees and Commissions: Online selling platforms often charge fees or commissions, which can reduce the net amount you receive from the sale.

  4. Lack of Personal Interaction: You miss out on the opportunity to have a face-to-face interaction with buyers or appraisers, which can make it harder to assess offers and negotiate.


Alternative Option: For a more secure and straightforward process, consider selling your coins in person at a reputable coin shop like Needham Coin and Jewelry in Needham. Our experienced staff provides professional appraisals and offers, ensuring a transparent and secure transaction.
 

Walk-ins are welcome, or you can schedule a private consultation for a personalized experience. This way, you can handle the sale with confidence and receive immediate payment without the risks associated with online selling.
