If you are looking to sell gold in Greensboro, NC, you do not need a Greensboro storefront. Apex Gold Silver Coin buys scrap gold, gold coins, silver, and platinum jewelry at our shop on Walnut Street in Winston-Salem. The drive from Greensboro is about 25 to 35 minutes on I-40, and people from the Triad make that trip every week. We do not offer appraisals. We test what you bring, weigh it in front of you, and make a straight buy offer you can take or leave.
Why Greensboro sellers drive to Winston-Salem
Greensboro has plenty of places that advertise gold buying. What many sellers want is a plain counter offer with testing they can watch, not a soft estimate that changes later. We are a local shop at 605 Walnut St SW, Winston-Salem, NC 27101. Jeff owns it and Tania runs it day to day. We buy from Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville, Burlington, and the rest of the Triad. That is our service area. The shop itself is the one in Winston-Salem.
Call (336) 505-9503 if you want to ask what a typical scrap gold offer looks like that day, then bring the items in for a firm number.
What we buy from Greensboro and Triad sellers
Bring what you have. Common items we see from Greensboro:
- Scrap gold jewelry: broken chains, worn rings, bracelets, and mixed karat pieces. We generally pay about 75% of melt for the gold content we confirm. See selling 10K, 14K, and 18K gold jewelry.
- Gold coins and bullion: recognizable coins are priced as bullion, not as scrap. Read gold coins vs scrap gold.
- Silver: sterling flatware and jewelry, pre-1964 US coins, and silver dollars. Silver dollars are priced separately from scrap gold. See pre-1964 silver coins and Morgan and Peace silver dollars.
- Platinum jewelry: marked pieces we can confirm on the counter.
We do not buy costume jewelry. Rare coins as rarities only when they are already graded and sealed by a third-party grading service; ungraded coins are priced on melt or bullion value. Estate boxes are fine mixed. Our guide to selling inherited gold and coins covers that situation.
How selling works: three steps
1. Bring it in. Walk in Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm or Saturday 12pm to 3pm with your gold and a government-issued photo ID. No appointment needed. Do not clean, polish, or melt anything first.
2. We test it. We test karat and weigh the metal on the counter while you watch. You can ask questions through the whole process. More detail: how we test scrap gold.
3. Get paid. We explain the offer before you decide. If you accept, you get paid. If not, you take everything back. There is no pressure and no soft estimate that gets rewritten later.
