Selling gold and coins from Irvine
Irvine covers nearly 66 square miles, from the Tustin line down to Lake Forest, and what people bring from it varies just as much. If you hold bullion, such as a tube of Gold Eagles, a few bars or part of a silver stack, you don’t have to sell it all at once. Bring the pieces you want to sell, see what each one brings, and keep the rest.

Selling some bullion and keeping the rest
Bring only what you want to sell, or bring the lot and decide at the counter. You can sell the gold and keep the silver, or sell one tube and take the others home.
Coins and bars can come as you keep them, in their tubes, capsules or original packaging. The price slip shows today’s price for each kind, and What we pay lists every line we buy.
A city of villages
Irvine was built on the old Irvine Ranch. The Irvine Company began developing the land in the 1960s, the city incorporated in 1971, and it was laid out in villages, each first planned with its own architectural style. In 2003 the city annexed the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, where the Orange County Great Park is now.
Our drive time, about 21 minutes without traffic, is measured from the middle of the city. Villages on the Tustin side are closer to the 5 and the 22; villages out toward Lake Forest and the Great Park add time.
When the drive makes sense
For one small item, a buyer closer to home is fine. For a real lot, a full tube of coins or a few bars, call with your estimate first, so you know where you stand before you set out. Our guide on where to sell gold in Orange County explains how to compare buyers in dollars.
What to bring, and what happens
Bring
- Your items, just as they are. Don't clean coins: it lowers what they are worth.
- A valid government photo ID, such as a driver's license, state ID or passport.
- You must be 18 or older to sell.
We weigh and test
Each piece goes on the scale and is tested in front of you. You see what we see.
We write it up
Every item gets its own line and its own amount, like the ticket above, so you can check each one.
You decide
Take the offer, or keep anything you'd rather hold on to. Either way is fine with us.
Questions from Irvine
Can I sell part of my bullion and keep the rest?
Yes. You choose which pieces to sell and take the others home. You can also turn the whole offer down.
Can I bring bullion I bought online?
Yes. Bring it as it arrived, in its tubes, capsules or packaging, and we look at each piece.
Are gold bars and gold coins priced the same way?
Gold bars and rounds are priced by the troy ounces of gold they hold. Gold bullion coins each have their own line by size. The price slip shows both in dollars.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during store hours. If you’re bringing a large amount, call first with your estimate.
