Common Questions ## Selling Gold, Silver & Coins: FAQs ### How much will I get for my gold? Your offer depends on the current gold spot price, the karat (purity) of the gold, its weight, and any collectible or designer value. Because spot prices change daily, we quote based on the market at the time of evaluation and explain exactly how the number was reached. ### Do you buy broken or scrap gold? Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, dental gold, and other scrap gold are evaluated for their gold content. Condition matters less for scrap because value comes from the metal itself. ### What silver coins do you buy? We buy pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars (90% silver), Morgan and Peace silver dollars, American Silver Eagles, silver rounds, silver bars, and complete silver coin collections. ### Do you buy gold and silver bullion?

A name you can trust in Gold, Silver, and Estate Sales. Serving Chicago for over 30 years. ## What is Cash Max Sales Inc.? Cash Max Sales Inc. is a Chicago-area precious metals buyer and asset liquidation company with over 30 years of experience. It is not a pawn shop: it buys gold, silver, coins, bullion, jewelry, and estate assets outright, with private, no-pressure evaluations. Office: 5533 W 109th St, Unit 103, Oak Lawn, IL 60453 · (312) 899-6000. ## Who We Are Cash Max Sales Inc. is a Chicago-based precious metals buyer and asset liquidation company with over 30 years of experience serving the Chicago area. We work with individual sellers, estate executors, business owners, families, attorneys, trustees, collectors, and investors who need a trusted, knowledgeable buyer for their gold, silver, coins, jewelry, bullion, and estate assets. We are not a pawnshop. We are a specialized buyer and liquidation company with deep knowledge of precious metal markets, numismatics, and estate assets. That knowledge matters — it means we can identify a rare coin, evaluate scrap gold accurately, recognize estate jewelry, and provide offers that reflect real market value. Our mission is simple: provide honest, accurate evaluations, treat every client with respect, and complete every transaction with discretion and professionalism. ## What We Do Cash Max Sales Inc. provides two core services to Chicago-area clients: ### Precious Metals Buying We buy gold, silver, coins, bullion, estate jewelry, watches, and related precious metal assets directly from individuals, estates, and businesses. Our evaluations are based on current market spot prices, item weight and purity, numismatic value where applicable, and overall condition and demand. ### Asset Liquidation Services For clients who need to convert a larger portfolio of precious metal or related assets into cash — whether through estate settlement, business closure, or downsizing — we provide professional liquidation services tailored to your situation and timeline. ## Why Knowledge Matters In the gold, silver, and coin industry, knowledge is the difference between being treated fairly and being taken advantage of. Too many sellers accept low offers simply because they did not know what they had. At Cash Max Sales Inc., we have spent over three decades learning the nuances of precious metal markets, rare coins, estate jewelry, and bullion valuation. We understand that a 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar and a 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar are not the same. We know the difference between 10K, 14K, 18K, and 24K gold and how each is evaluated. We know what makes a coin collection valuable and what does not. That knowledge benefits our clients. When we make an offer, it is based on accurate, current market information — and we explain it clearly so you know exactly what you are receiving and why. ## Our Commitment to Clients * **Privacy:** Every transaction is handled with full discretion.

If you're thinking about selling gold in Chicago — whether it's old jewelry, inherited gold, scrap gold, or coins — understanding how the process works will help you make a better decision. This guide covers the key factors that affect what you'll be offered and what to look for in a gold buyer. ## What Determines the Value of Gold You're Selling? Gold buyers evaluate your items based on several factors. There's no single number — every evaluation depends on the specific items and current market conditions. ### 1. The Current Spot Price of Gold Gold is a commodity with a publicly quoted price that fluctuates throughout every trading day. This "spot price" is the foundational reference point for any gold transaction. Offers always reflect some margin below spot — that's how buyers operate — but the spot price sets the floor for the calculation. Because the spot price changes daily, an offer today may differ from one tomorrow on the same piece. ### 2. Purity (Karat) Gold jewelry is rarely 100% pure. The karat system measures purity: 24K is 99.9% pure, 18K is 75%, 14K is 58.3%, 10K is 41.7%. The higher the karat, the more gold content, and the higher the raw metal value. Most jewelry sold in the US is 10K or 14K. ### 3. Weight The weight of your gold items is the other key variable. Precious metals are weighed in troy ounces or grams. Items with heavy stones, clasps, or settings will be weighed separately — only the gold content is evaluated for metal value. ### 4. Condition For items evaluated purely for metal content (scrap gold), condition matters less — bent, broken, or tarnished pieces are still worth their gold content. For items with additional value (designer pieces, vintage jewelry, numismatic coins), condition affects the total evaluation significantly. ### 5. Collectible or Historical Value Some gold items are worth more than their melt value. Antique jewelry, designer pieces, and gold coins with collector demand can command premiums above raw metal value. ## What to Expect When You Sell Gold 1. **Initial contact:** Describe what you have by phone or form. A good buyer helps you understand what to expect before you come in. 2. **Testing:** Your gold is tested for purity. Reputable buyers test in front of you and explain the results. 3. **Weighing:** Items are weighed accurately on a calibrated scale. You should be able to see the weight clearly. 4. **Offer:** The buyer calculates an offer based on tested purity, weight, and current spot price. 5. **Your decision:** You accept or decline. No obligation to sell. ## Getting Ready to Sell * Gather items and note any karat stamps you can see * Check the current gold spot price as a baseline reference * Note any items with potential collector value beyond metal content * Consider sending photos before visiting in person ## Ready to Find Out What Your Gold Is Worth?

URL: https://www.cashmaxsales.com/blog/what-determines-coin-collection-value.html ## Key Takeaways * Coins have two kinds of value: intrinsic (metal content) and numismatic (collector demand). * Rarity, grade (on a 1-70 scale), mint mark, metal content, and originality drive coin value. * Pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars are 90% silver. * Never clean coins — cleaning permanently reduces collector value. * An experienced buyer evaluates both melt and numismatic value and explains the offer. Whether you inherited a coin collection or accumulated one yourself, understanding what drives coin value is the first step to knowing what you have. Some coins are worth little more than their metal content; others carry significant premiums based on rarity and collector demand. ## The Two Types of Value in Coins **Intrinsic value** is based on metal content — typically silver or gold. Pre-1965 US dimes, quarters, and half dollars are 90% silver and carry silver value regardless of collectibility. **Numismatic value** is based on collector demand — mintage, surviving condition, historical significance, and what collectors are willing to pay in the current market. ## Key Factors That Affect Coin Value ### 1. Rarity The fundamental driver of numismatic value is scarcity. Coins with low mintages, or where most surviving examples have been damaged over time, command premiums. The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent, 1916-D Mercury dime, and 1921 Peace dollar are classic examples of scarcity driving value. Rarity isn't always obvious — an experienced buyer will recognize key dates casual sellers might overlook. ### 2. Grade (Condition) Coins are graded on a scale from 1 (barely identifiable) to 70 (perfect). The difference between a grade-60 and grade-65 coin can mean dramatically different values. Grade is determined by wear, quality of original strike, luster, and absence of contact marks. Third-party grading by PCGS or NGC provides standardized, trusted opinions. ### 3. Mint Mark The same coin from different mints can have dramatically different values based on mintage numbers. A Morgan dollar from Carson City (CC) is almost always more desirable than the same year from Philadelphia. Mint marks are small letters on the coin — they matter enormously in valuation. ### 4. Silver or Gold Content For common-date coins in well-circulated condition, precious metal content is often the primary value driver. Pre-1965 US silver coins are 90% silver. Experienced buyers assess both numismatic and intrinsic value and apply whichever is higher. ### 5. Toning and Originality Original, undisturbed coins — even those with natural toning — are preferred by knowledgeable collectors over cleaned coins. Cleaning permanently damages a coin's appeal to collectors. A cleaned coin grades lower and sells for less than an original example of the same date and mint mark. ## What to Do With a Collection You're Not Sure About 1. **Don't clean anything.** This is the single most important rule. Even well-intentioned cleaning destroys numismatic value. 2. **Store safely.** Avoid touching coin surfaces with bare hands. 3. **Get a knowledgeable evaluation.** An experienced buyer will identify key dates and varieties with significant collector value. 4. **Understand any offer.** Ask the buyer to explain what they found and how the offer was calculated. ## Have a Coin Collection to Evaluate?

URL: https://www.cashmaxsales.com/blog/estate-liquidation-checklist.html ## Key Takeaways * Secure all valuables first, including safe deposit boxes and home safes. * Confirm legal authority to sell (Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration) and notify beneficiaries. * Create a written, photographed inventory and note karat and purity stamps. * Do not clean coins, and keep graded coins in their PCGS/NGC holders. * Use a buyer experienced with estates, ask for written documentation, and note that cash payments of $10,000 or more may trigger IRS Form 8300 reporting. Managing the liquidation of a loved one's estate is rarely simple. When precious metals, coins, jewelry, and collectibles are involved, the process requires both emotional care and practical knowledge. *This article is for general informational purposes only. Estate administration involves legal, tax, and financial considerations that vary by individual circumstance. Consult qualified professionals for guidance specific to your situation.* ## Before You Do Anything: Important First Steps ### 1. Secure the Assets Before any evaluation or liquidation begins, physically secure all valuable items. Locate and inventory all known precious metals, coins, jewelry, and collectibles. Secure safe deposit boxes (you may need legal documentation to access them). Check home safes, jewelry boxes, and other common hiding spots — people often store valuables in unexpected places. ### 2. Determine Your Legal Authority As executor or administrator, you need proper legal authority before selling estate assets — typically Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration from the probate court. Work with your estate attorney before liquidating any significant assets. ### 3. Notify Beneficiaries If there are multiple beneficiaries, ensure all parties are informed before major assets are liquidated. Transparency protects you as executor and prevents future disputes. ## Inventorying Precious Metals, Coins, and Jewelry ### 4. Create a Written Inventory Before anything is moved or sold, create a written inventory. For each item note: description, location where found, approximate condition, and any documentation (receipts, appraisals). Photograph everything before it leaves the property. ### 5. Identify Gold and Silver Jewelry Look for karat stamps on gold jewelry (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K) and purity stamps on silver (.925 for sterling, .999 for fine silver). Items without visible stamps can still be tested for metal content by a buyer. ### 6. Handle Coins with Care * **Do not clean any coins.** Cleaning permanently damages collectible value. * Handle coins by the edges, not the faces * Keep coins in their original holders or albums — never remove graded coins from PCGS/NGC holders * Note dates, mint marks, and denominations ## Getting Professional Evaluations ### 7. Choose an Experienced Buyer Choose buyers who have experience working with estates and can evaluate multiple categories (gold, silver, coins, jewelry). A buyer who only evaluates for scrap may miss numismatic value in a coin collection. ### 8. Understand the Offer Any reputable buyer should explain how they arrived at their offer. Ask questions. Request written documentation for estate accounting and tax purposes. ## Special Situations **Large transactions:** Cash payments of $10,000 or more may trigger IRS Form 8300 reporting requirements. Your estate attorney or CPA can advise on the implications. **Specific bequests:** If the will specifies certain items go to specific beneficiaries, set those aside before any general liquidation. ## Quick Reference Checklist * Secure all physical assets before doing anything else * Confirm your legal authority to sell estate assets * Notify all beneficiaries before major liquidations * Create a written inventory with photos of everything * Identify and note karat/purity stamps on gold and silver * Handle coins carefully — never clean them * Keep graded coins in their holders * Choose a buyer experienced in estate liquidation * Ask for explanation of any evaluation and offer * Request written documentation for estate records * Consult your attorney and CPA on legal and tax obligations ## Need Help With Estate Liquidation in Chicago?
