Sell 10 oz Gold Bars in Los Angeles for Cash
South Bay Coin buys 10 oz gold bars across the counter in Lawndale. Bring one or several, watch each one checked and weighed in front of you, and leave paid the same visit. No shipping, no appointment, no minimum.
Where to Sell a 10 oz Gold Bar in Los Angeles
South Bay Coin is a licensed, bonded and insured California precious metals dealer, and the most direct place to sell a 10 oz gold bar in Los Angeles. We have bought bullion across Los Angeles County since 1980, from one counter in Lawndale.
Because we run our own refinery, your bar does not need a buyer standing behind us. Pawn shops and jewelry stores resell what they take in, and that margin comes out of your offer before you see a number.
Every bar is examined and weighed on the counter in front of you, with the reasoning said out loud. If you also hold gold bars in other sizes or a run of gold and silver coins, they are read in the same sitting and quoted line by line.
Sellers reach us from Torrance, Redondo Beach and across the South Bay. Appraisals are free, there is no minimum, and if the offer disappoints the bar goes home. You can sell gold in Los Angeles in any other form at the same counter.

How Big Is a 10 oz Gold Bar and What Does It Weigh?
Almost everyone who brings a 10 oz gold bar in for the first time says the same thing: it is smaller than they pictured. Ten troy ounces is roughly 311 grams, and gold is among the densest metals in use, so all of it closes inside one hand.
That is why every refiner publishes its bar's dimensions next to the weight and the fineness. Size is not a styling decision, it is set by how much room the metal takes up. Anything claiming to be a 10 oz gold bar has a shape it is obliged to fit.
Density is the first filter, and a generous one. Almost nothing cheap comes near gold's weight for its size, so a piece plated over a base metal is either too light for its size or too large for its weight. On the smaller bars that settles it. On a 10 oz bar it does not.
How a 10 oz Gold Bar Is Checked for Authenticity
A one ounce bar is nearly all outside, with no room to hide anything worth hiding. A 10 oz bar has an interior, and that fact separates the large sizes from the small.
One metal sits close enough to gold in density to be worth the trouble, tungsten, and it has been used as a core inside gold shells for years. It only pays a counterfeiter where enough interior volume and enough value arrive together, which is roughly ten ounces up. The longer look is about the format, never about the person carrying it.
Here is what no buy-side page tells a seller: that check is your asset, not your obstacle. A buyer who cannot settle the question has three moves. Price the doubt into the offer, refuse the bar, or take it away to be assayed.
All three cost you money, or possession, or both. A counter that resolves it while you watch has no doubt left to charge for, which is why a plain unbranded bar is paid here on full gold content.
Cash or Check When You Sell a Gold Bar in the South Bay
The same density that makes a gold bar hard to imitate makes it easy to carry. A 10 oz gold bar needs no case, no second person and no freight arrangement. Anyone who has moved a large silver holding will recognize the contrast, because with silver the difficulty is bulk.
That ease is why the mistake happens at the other end. People plan the trip, which needs no planning, and leave the payment unplanned, which does. A single bar concentrates an entire holding into one settlement.
We settle in cash or by check, so it helps to say which you would prefer when you call. You are welcome to have the bar checked, hear the offer, and carry it back out. Walk-ins need none of this.

What Our Gold Bar Sellers Say About South Bay Coin
Questions About Selling 10 oz Gold Bars in Los Angeles
Where can I sell a 10 oz gold bar in Los Angeles?
South Bay Coin buys 10 oz gold bars at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, a licensed California dealer serving Los Angeles since 1980. Walk in Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM, or Saturday until 3 PM. Your bar is checked in front of you and paid the same visit.
How much is a 10 oz gold bar worth?
A 10 oz gold bar is worth the gold inside it, measured against the live market at the moment you sell. Because these bars are essentially pure, little is left to argue about once weight and metal are confirmed. We build the offer in front of you and explain it.
How big is a 10 oz gold bar?
Smaller than most people expect. Ten troy ounces is roughly 311 grams, and gold is dense enough that all of it fits comfortably in a closed hand. Refiners publish exact dimensions for each bar they make, and that published size is part of what identifies a genuine one.
Do I need the assay card or original packaging to sell a gold bar?
No. We confirm what a bar is from the bar itself, so packaging is a convenience rather than a requirement. Bring the card if you still have it, since it saves time at the counter. A bar that arrives loose, with nothing around it, is bought on the same basis.
Why is a 10 oz gold bar checked more carefully than a 1 oz bar?
Because it has an interior. A small bar has almost no room inside it, so weight read against published size settles the question quickly. A 10 oz bar holds enough volume to hide a core and enough value to make hiding one worthwhile, so the check goes further.
Does it matter if my gold bar is scratched or unbranded?
No. Marks on the outside of a bar do not change the gold within it, and a maker's name is not what we are paying for. Unbranded bars, plain poured ingots, and bars from refiners that no longer trade are bought on confirmed gold content, with no discount.
Can I sell a gold bar without shipping it anywhere?
Yes, and that is rather the point of selling in person. The bar never leaves the counter, never leaves your sight, and never enters the mail. You are paid before you leave. Nothing is held back to be looked at elsewhere and there is no waiting period.
How do you pay for a 10 oz gold bar?
In cash or by check, in the same visit, once you have accepted the offer. Because a single bar concentrates a large holding into one payment, it helps to tell us which form you prefer when you call ahead, so it is ready when you arrive. Bring photo identification.
Do I need an appointment to sell gold bars in Lawndale?
No. Walk-ins are welcome during business hours and an appointment is never required. A short call ahead helps if you are bringing several bars or would like a particular form of payment ready, but it is a convenience for you, not a condition of selling to us.
Is it better to sell a 10 oz gold bar locally or mail it to an online buyer?
An online buyer takes possession before the price is settled. You ship first, they confirm the bar on arrival, and payment follows days later. Selling locally reverses that order. The bar is confirmed while you watch, the offer is made, and you decide with it in front of you.
