Many smaller evaluations can be completed in approximately 10–20 minutes. Larger collections, estate holdings, or items requiring additional research may take longer.

We take the time necessary to evaluate each collection carefully rather than rushing the process.

Bring the items in their current condition. Original boxes, receipts, certificates, grading documentation, or other supporting records can be helpful when available, but they are not required for an initial evaluation.

Cleaning is generally unnecessary. In particular, do not polish or clean collectible coins, as improper cleaning can affect their condition and potential numismatic value. Bring the items as they are.

Value can depend on metal type, purity, weight, current precious-metals prices, condition, manufacturer, market demand, and—when applicable—collectible or numismatic value.

Relevant factors are considered together rather than applying one method to every item.

Yes. Precious-metals markets are monitored, and current market conditions are considered when an offer is prepared. Market prices can change throughout the trading day, so an offer may reflect conditions at the time of evaluation.

No. Some items may have value beyond their precious-metal content. Depending on the item, we may consider condition, rarity, collector interest, manufacturer, craftsmanship, age, and secondary-market demand.

Absolutely. There is no obligation to sell. You may decline an offer and retain your items. Our role is to provide clear information and an opportunity to sell without pressure.

Not necessarily. A purchase evaluation is intended to determine what Kaufman Precious Metals may offer to purchase an item or collection.

Insurance, tax, probate, charitable-donation, or litigation matters may require a formal written appraisal prepared for that specific purpose. Contact us in advance if you require documentation for a legal or administrative matter so the appropriate scope can be discussed.

Yes. We purchase gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion, including many bars, rounds, and sovereign-mint products. Packaging, certificates, and purchase records should be included when available.
