How to Sell Estate Bullion & Coins

When people choose to invest in physical precious metals like gold bullion or silver coins, they’re often planning for the future–not just their own, but their family’s as well. In some cases, these investors plan to include precious metals as part of the estate they will pass down to their heirs. Unfortunately, although precious metals are extremely valuable, liquidating physical investments like bullion for their maximum value in legal tender can be easier said than done.

We understand how stressful it can be to deal with precious metal items inherited through an estate. Estimating the value of each item and finding buyers who will pay fairly for them can easily start to feel like a full-time job. When it comes to selling precious metals, honesty and integrity are at a premium. There is constant demand for precious metals–so how do you choose a buyer you can trust?

When it comes to buying estate pieces like bullion bars, coins, and jewelry, Manhattan Gold & Silver proudly stands apart from estate liquidators and other precious metal buyers.
