The holidays are upon us. If you, like many Cincinnatians, are looking to up your gift-giving budget, you might consider selling some of the broken jewelry, commemorative coins, and gold bullion in your possession. But to get the highest return, you’ll need to follow some best practices.  

Where Should You Sell Your Gold?

From pawn shops to jewelers, there are plenty of places where you can sell gold in Cincinnati. However, the safest and most profitable choice is to visit a qualified rare coin dealer. These individuals are trained numismatists, meaning they have the knowledge and tools to accurately appraise your piece. Whether you’re selling an heirloom or gold bullion, you can feel confident that you’re getting the best value for your item.  

When selecting a coin dealer, choose one with a positive reputation in both the industry and the surrounding community. Look for awards, numismatic memberships, and other types of industry involvement. Also, ask your friends, family, and neighbors for possible recommendations.    

Which Items Can You Sell?

Every coin dealer has their own guidelines about what they will and will not buy, so remember to call beforehand. In general, you can expect the professional to accept gold bullion, broken jewelry, commemorative coins, and many other forms of scrap gold. The rarer the item and the better the condition it’s in, the more you can expect to earn from the sale. The more you earn, the more you have to spend on gifts and other holiday necessities.
