Gold Valuation
How Much Is My Gold Worth?
Gold value starts with purity, weight, and the current market price. A 24K item has a higher gold content than a 14K item of the same weight, but a heavier 14K piece may contain more gold overall. We examine each piece before making an offer.
Coins and bars may also have value tied to their mint, condition, authenticity, or collector demand. Designer jewelry deserves a closer look beyond its metal content. If you do not know the karat or an item has no stamp, bring it in and we can evaluate it with you.
Gold prices move during the day, so an accurate purchase offer depends on an in-person evaluation. You can send us a message with a description or text photos to (310) 363-2697 before visiting.
Payment & Estates
From One Ring to an Estate Collection
Bring one piece or a whole collection. We will sort through jewelry, coins, bullion, and other precious metal items with you and explain the offer. If you decide to sell, payment is made during your visit.
For an inherited collection or a larger estate, contact us before you come in so we can set aside enough time to look at everything carefully. You can also bring an existing offer to discuss; there is no pressure to sell.
What We Buy
Gold Items We Buy
From a broken chain to a gold coin collection, we can evaluate items in many conditions. Here are some of the things you can bring in.
Gold Jewelry
Sell gold jewelry including chains, rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, charms, wedding bands, class rings, and necklaces in any condition. Yellow, white, and rose gold. We also evaluate designer jewelry from Cartier, Tiffany, David Yurman, and other luxury brands for possible value beyond the metal.
Gold Coins & Bullion
Sell gold coins such as American Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, and Pandas. We also buy gold bars of different sizes and mints. We look for collector value as well as metal content.
Scrap Gold
Sell scrap gold such as broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, and unwanted settings. We test each item to determine its gold content.
Dental Gold
Sell dental gold including crowns, bridges, caps, and other dental pieces. Bring them in as they are, and we can check their precious metal content.

Why Choose South Bay Coin
South Bay Coin vs. Online Gold Buyers & Pawn Shops
Selling your gold should feel straightforward. At South Bay Coin, you meet with an appraiser in our Lawndale showroom, understand how your items are evaluated, and decide whether to accept the offer. You can ask questions face to face and receive payment during the same visit.
| What Matters When Selling | South Bay Coin | Online Gold Buyers | Pawn Shops |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meet the person evaluating your gold | Meet with an appraiser face to face in our Lawndale showroom. | Mail-in buyers typically evaluate your items remotely. | In-person service; experience with gold, coins, and designer jewelry varies by shop. |
| Understand your offer | We explain purity, weight, current market value, and any collector or designer value that affects our offer. | Ask how the offer is calculated and whether you receive an itemized explanation. | Ask how the shop evaluates your items and determines its purchase offer. |
| Keep your gold with you while deciding | Bring your items in and consider the offer before agreeing to sell. | Mail-in services usually require shipping your gold before receiving a final offer. | You can usually consider a purchase offer during your visit. |
| Avoid shipping and return arrangements | No shipping, packing, or waiting for your items to be returned. | Check insurance coverage, return policies, and any return shipping charges. | Shipping is generally unnecessary for an in-person sale. |
| Consider value beyond the gold itself | We look at gold content and possible collector or designer value in coins and jewelry. | Some services focus on metal content; check which items they evaluate for additional value. | Expertise in collectible coins and luxury jewelry varies by shop. |
| Receive payment after accepting | Payment is made during your visit when you accept our offer. | Payment follows shipping, evaluation, and acceptance; timing varies. | Payment may be available during your visit; ask about the shop's terms. |
| Sell without taking out a loan | We purchase your items outright, with no pawn loan or repayment schedule. | Gold buying services generally purchase items outright. | Many shops offer both purchases and pawn loans. A loan has separate interest and repayment terms. |
