Estate collections, handled with care.

When an estate includes gold jewelry, coins, bullion, or sterling, sorting out what it's worth and who will buy it is one more job on a long list. We give free evaluations, one offer for the whole collection, and in-person visits anywhere in the Bay Area.

Who we work with

Executors and administrators

Converting metal and coins to cash so the estate can be settled.

Trustees

Selling trust assets cleanly, with documentation for your records.

Families and heirs

Deciding what to keep and what to sell, with a clear number for each.

Attorneys and fiduciaries

A reliable buyer to refer clients to for precious metals.

How it works

Tell us what's there

Email us or send the form with photos and a rough description. A box of jewelry and a coin album is enough to start.

We come to you in the Bay Area

In the Bay Area we come to you, by appointment. Elsewhere, we work from photos and then by mail.

One written offer

We price everything at once and can break the offer down item by item, so you can keep anything you'd rather not sell.

Paid to the estate or trust

Paid to the estate, trust, or authorized seller once the sale is agreed and verified.

Proof of authority to sell

To buy from an estate or trust we need to know who has authority to sell. Usually that's one of:

  • Letters testamentary or letters of administration
  • A small-estate affidavit, for smaller estates
  • A certification of trust, for trust property
  • Government photo ID for the person signing

Paperwork, handled properly

Our team includes a California attorney, so the paperwork is handled carefully and every estate purchase is well documented. We're the buyer, not the estate's lawyer: for advice about the estate itself, please consult its own attorney.

Some estates need court approval or notice to heirs before property is sold. If you're not sure, check with the estate's attorney first.

Our evaluations are offers to purchase rather than formal appraisals, so they aren't intended for tax, insurance, or probate filings.
