Gold Items We Buy And Sell
Gold Bullion
Gold Bullion simply means “high purity gold in the form of bars, ingots or coins“. Basically, gold bullion is the kind of gold that investors most typically want to buy. We at California Gold and Silver Exchange buy all gold bullion from any manufacturer or country. Gold bullion is also sought out by collectors of rare gold coins, vintage currencies, and other bullion with numismatic value.
Gold Coins
We have many gold coins in stock, including, American Eagle, American Buffalo, Australian Kangaroo, Austria Philharmonic, Canadian Maple Leaf, Mexican 50 Peso Centenario, South Africa Krugerrand, Great Britain Britannia coins, and many more. We have coins ranging in weight from 1/10 ounce to 1 ounce per coin.
Gold Bars
1 oz bars are an easy way to invest in gold. They are .9999 pure 24 karat gold and have a low premium over the spot gold price. They come sealed in a certified assay card from the manufacturer. We sell gold bars at a variety of weights, ranging from 1 ounce to 1000 grams.
Gold Ingots
Gold Ingots are another term for gold bars or gold bullion. High purity gold is cast in the form of ingots or bars as a method of storing gold in bulk for currency reserve purposes or further processing into other forms, such as gold jewelry or coins.
Gold Scrap
“Scrap gold” is an expression that refers to any gold that is no longer of value in its original marketed form—for example, broken jewelry or industrial by-products. Scrap gold is often sent to a refinery, in order to be melted down.
Gold Jewelry
We buy gold jewelry in all conditions whether it’s new, old, broken, damaged, vintage or antique. As long as it’s gold, we can buy it. We have purchased jewelry as low as 8 and 9 karat gold, but most of the items we buy are the traditional 10 karat, 14 karat, 18 karat, 22 karat and 24 karat gold.
