Clarity Before You Commit

Dealer offers can vary significantly, and without market experience, it's difficult to know whether you're receiving fair value. We provide independent pricing analysis that compares offers against current spot prices, melt values, premiums, and observable market practice. This gives you clarity on whether an offer is reasonable or if there's room to negotiate better terms.

Many dealers are reputable and offer fair prices. However, they have a natural interest in paying less for inventory. Without independent analysis, you may not know if their offer reflects true market value. We serve as an objective third party whose only interest is ensuring you receive a fair deal.

No. We do not buy, sell, broker, or take custody of precious metals. This independence is fundamental to our role—we have no financial interest in the transaction other than our advisory fee. Our only goal is to help you understand pricing and negotiate fair terms.

Yes. We can engage directly with dealers to clarify pricing assumptions, challenge unreasonable terms, and negotiate on your behalf. Our experience operating inside the bullion industry gives us unique insight into how dealers price transactions and where flexibility often exists.

While we frequently work with significant estates and collections, we evaluate each situation individually. The value of independent analysis depends more on the complexity and risk of the transaction than on dollar amount alone. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

We cover a comprehensive range of precious-metal assets including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion; PCGS and NGC graded coins; raw and numismatic coin collections; and rare or specialized items. If you're unsure whether we can help with your specific assets, please reach out.

We analyze proposed dealer offers against multiple factors: current spot prices, melt value calculations, typical dealer spreads, recent comparable sales, and observable market conditions. For graded coins, we also consider population data, auction results, and grade-specific premiums. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of where an offer stands relative to fair market value.

No. We do not provide investment advice, legal advice, or tax advice. Our services are strictly limited to pricing analysis, transaction review, and advocacy related to dealer negotiations. For investment, legal, or tax matters, you should consult with appropriately licensed professionals.

Having multiple offers is actually helpful—it provides a baseline for comparison. We can analyze each offer against market conditions and help you understand why offers may differ. Often, differences come down to dealer risk tolerance, inventory needs, or simply their assessment of what they can pay while maintaining margin.

Yes. We understand that estate settlements and other circumstances sometimes require expedited timelines. We can often provide initial analysis quickly and help ensure you're not leaving significant value on the table due to time pressure. Dealers sometimes offer lower prices knowing sellers are motivated—we help level that playing field.

Yes. We provide written analysis and recommendations that you can reference during negotiations or share with other advisors, attorneys, or family members involved in the decision. This documentation also creates a record of the analysis supporting your eventual decision.

Independent review is most valuable when: you lack experience in the precious-metals market; you're dealing with a significant dollar amount; you're under time pressure; you're receiving different opinions or offers; or you simply want confidence that you're making an informed decision. If you're uncertain whether you need our help, a brief consultation can help clarify.
