If an item is returned for reasons other than being not as described, return postage will be the responsibility of the buyer.

Buying New or Preowned Gold and Silver

While preowned items may show minor signs of wear, such as scratches, milk spots or tarnishing, they are sold strictly as bullion, with their precious metal content fully guaranteed. Whether you choose new or preowned, you can be confident in the quality and authenticity of our products.
