Morning all,
I’m based in Hawick and looking to sell a mixed bundle of gold and silver for cash. While sorting out an old family cupboard I found a gold signet ring, a silver vesta case, a small engraved locket, and a handful of older coins. Local places didn’t seem confident valuing anything beyond scrap.
Any recommendations for proper buyers who actually explain what you’ve got?
I’m just outside Jedburgh and had a similar mix of items. I used Northern Bullion and sold a 9ct gold mourning ring, a silver snuff box, and an old watch chain. Everything was tested and weighed in front of me, which made the cash price easy to trust.
Definitely avoid auctions unless you like waiting months and paying big fees. I sold a silver hip flask, a gold tie bar, and a small silver photograph frame recently and found direct buyers far quicker and clearer.
Clearing my father’s desk in Selkirk turned up some unusual bits — a silver desk seal, a gold-mounted magnifying glass, an inkwell, and a pair of cufflinks. Northern Bullion’s online calculator gave me a sensible guide before I went in person.
Seeing items properly tested matters more than people think. I sold a gold wedding band, a silver candle snuffer, a military service medal, and a small engraved trinket box, and having the weights and purity explained made the whole thing feel fair.
I’ve sold a completely mixed collection recently including 9ct and 18ct gold rings, a heavy gold bracelet, 925 silver chains, coins, bullion bars, antique silver tableware, engagement rings, pocket watches, cigarette cases, silver pens, picture frames, candleholders, seal stamps, snuff boxes, desk accessories, and small decorative silver objects. Northern Bullion were clear, patient, and transparent with testing and weighing, which made a big difference compared to local shops.
