How do I establish a price and make arrangements to invest in a gold or silver product?2017-12-13T23:59:20+00:00
  • Our product pages display pricing which is updated every minute to reflect the current market conditions. Clients may call in to lock in a specific price and quantity of a product and in doing so both parties agree to execute at the agreed market price at the time the order is made.
  • By locking in a price, you are agreeing to pay that price regardless of any market fluctuations up or down of the products thereafter. Clients must arrange for immediate payment of the placed order by our accepted payment methods.

  • Most clients call for an estimate or visit our location in person to receive a live quote.
  • All bullion products are weighed, density and XRF tested to ensure authenticity in house.
  • Clients may call to place a sell order over the phone. In doing so the client agrees to sell said products at that market rate (quote) regardless of market fluctuations thereafter.
  • All sell orders over the phone must be delivered in person the same day (unless other arrangements are made).

How do I know I am receiving authentic bullion?2017-11-29T23:37:28+00:00
  • Authentication – We take buying and selling bullion very seriously. Unlike most banks that have to send out the bullion for authentication we have the very expensive machines in house to verify the purity and weight of bullion items. In fact most other dealers do not invest in the machines listed below.
  • Specific Gravity Tester – Using a specialized scale we are able to use Archimedes law of displacement to determine the specific gravity of the sample. The specific gravity of gold is 19.3 and silver is 10.5. For those curious what Archimedes formula is it’s (Dry weight – Wet weight = X), (Dry / X = specific gravity.)
  • XRF – stands for X-Ray Florescence. It’s a process where a x-ray beam is used to displace electrons from their atomic positions causing a burst of energy that is readable by a detector and categorized as a specific element such as Gold-Au, Silver-Ag, Copper-Cu, Nickel-Ni, Tungsten-W, Palladium-Pd, Titanium-Ti etc…
  • Digital Scale – We use very expensive scales that are calibrated by Weights and Measures Canada for legal trade. In Canada the scales must be certified on site and measure to .001 of a gram.
