I buy all types of gold and silver coins and bars, with some limits on how much I am willing to purchase at any one time. For large quantities please call ahead. I sometimes buy scrap gold jewelry but only if time permits as jewelry is time consuming to assess and file the required police reports and this is not possibly when the store is fairly busy. I purchase larger silver items such as flatware sets, but not silver jewelry. I do not buy or sell any type of silver or gold bullion through the mail.

I keep only limited cash on hand so for transactions over a few hundred dollars I will have to pay by cheque. I am licensed in the City of Calgary and follow the city bylaws requiring me to file a police report on all purchases, requiring the seller to provide two pieces of identification, one of which must be a government issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc), with the other something official but need not have a photo (heath care, credit card, etc). You must also provide proof of your address which may be on you ID but could be a piece of mail such as a bill addressed to you. You will be required to sign the report prior to payment being made and if you cannot provide the required ID, or are unwilling to sign the report, I cannot buy your items.

SHIPPING DELAYS

Mailings within Canada and the USA seem to be back to normal although some over sized package to Canadian addresses are seeing delays of a week or two. Mailing to over seas addresses is also improving with letter mail generally about 2 to 3 weeks but occasionally there are longer delays.
