What We Buy
Precious Metals in Many Forms
Kaufman Precious Metals evaluates and purchases gold, silver, platinum, palladium, coins, bullion, jewelry, sterling, select watches, and complete collections.
A Knowledgeable Review
Understanding What You Own Is the First Step
Precious-metal items are not all valued the same way. Metal content, purity, weight, condition, manufacturer, rarity, collectibility, and current market demand may all influence an item’s value.
KPM provides a structured evaluation designed to identify the relevant characteristics of each asset, explain the factors that influence value, and present a clear purchase proposal.
You do not need to sort, clean, test, or fully identify your items before contacting us.

Condition Is Not Everything
Broken, Damaged, Incomplete, or Unwanted Items May Still Have Value
Precious-metal value can remain even when an item is no longer wearable, complete, or in its original condition. Clasps may be broken, stones may be missing, flatware sets may be incomplete, and coins may have circulated.
Avoid polishing, repairing, or cleaning items before an evaluation. Cleaning a coin or altering an item can sometimes reduce its collectible or resale value.
How Value Is Considered
More Than a Number on a Scale
The factors relevant to an evaluation depend on the type of asset being reviewed.
Metal & Purity
Identifying the precious metal and determining its purity or fineness.
Weight
Measuring the applicable precious-metal weight using appropriate equipment.
Market Conditions
Considering current metals markets, liquidity, and downstream demand.
Product Characteristics
Reviewing manufacturer, denomination, condition, and other product-specific details.
Collectibility
Determining whether rarity or collector interest may provide value beyond metal content.
Relevant Market
Identifying the appropriate wholesale, collector, dealer, or refinery market.
Preparing for Your Appointment
You Do Not Need to Organize Everything First
Bring the items as they are. If available, original packaging, purchase records, certificates, grading documentation, inventories, or relevant estate records may provide helpful context.
Discuss Your Items-
01
Gather the Items
Include pieces you are uncertain about rather than attempting to identify everything yourself.
-
02
Keep Documentation Together
Bring relevant receipts, certificates, inventories, boxes, or prior records if they are available.
-
03
Leave Items in Their Current Condition
Avoid cleaning coins, polishing silver, or repairing jewelry before the evaluation.
