Hi folks,
I’m in Galashiels and hoping to sell a small collection of gold and silver items for cash. While sorting out a loft I came across a gold wedding band, a silver pocket compass, a pair of silver napkin rings, and an old commemorative coin. The local jeweller only seemed interested in scrap value and didn’t explain much.
Can anyone recommend a proper buyer who takes time to assess things properly?
I’m over in Melrose and sold a mixed batch through Northern Bullion — including a 9ct gold band, a silver cigarette case with engraving, and a small silver-mounted mirror. Everything was tested in front of me and the cash offer matched the weights exactly.
I’d steer clear of auctions unless you enjoy waiting and paying commission. I sold a silver hip flask, a gold tie tack, and a small silver trophy cup recently and found direct buyers far quicker and more straightforward.
Clearing my uncle’s writing desk turned up some unusual items — a silver desk blotter, a gold-mounted letter opener, a seal stamp, and a pair of engraved cufflinks. Northern Bullion’s calculator helped me understand the value before I went in.
Watching the testing process really matters. I sold a gold signet ring, a silver candle snuffer, a military long-service medal, and a small silver trinket chest, and having everything weighed and explained properly made the offer easy to trust.
Over the last year I’ve sold a very mixed assortment including 18ct gold rings, a chunky gold bracelet, 925 silver rope chains, coins, bullion bars, antique silver table pieces, engagement rings, pocket watches with chains, enamelled cigarette cases, silver pens, ornate picture frames, candleholders, desk seals, snuff boxes, and decorative silver deskware. Northern Bullion were clear and methodical with testing and weighing, which made the whole process feel transparent and fair.
