As well as collector coins and paper money and most types of gold and silver coins and bullion rounds and bars, we sometimes buy scrap gold jewelry if time permits but assessing jewelry is more time consuming than coins and bullion. We also purchase larger silver items such as flatware, tea sets, etc.
We keep limited cash on hand so when buying larger collections we will have to pay by my company cheque. We are licensed in the City of Calgary and follow the city bylaws requiring us to take your ID and file a city report on all purchases. You will need two pieces of ID including a non-expired government photo ID such as a driver's license, Alberta ID, passport, etc. The second ID can be anything official and need not have a photo, such as heath care, credit card, etc. You must provide proof of your address if not on your ID, such as a bill addressed to you. Preparing the report usually takes only a few minutes and you will be required to sign it. If you cannot provide the required ID or are unwilling to sign the report, we cannot buy your items.
We ship to addresses in Canada and USA but generally not other countries. This is mostly due to sales tax rules many countries have implemented requiring the shipper to collect their taxes from the buyer, register with the tax department in that country and arrange to forward the proceeds. For a smaller business like ours the logistics of that can prohibitive.
