Live Precious Metal Spot Prices
Updated every 60 seconds during market hoursHow We Value Your Gold
Gold value comes down to two numbers: how pure the metal is and how much it weighs. Purity is measured in karats, where 24K is pure gold and 14K is about 58.3 percent gold blended with alloy metals. Weight is measured in troy ounces or grams. We multiply your item's pure gold content by the live spot price to reach a fair, market-based figure, and we always show you the math.
Testing matters because stamps are not always accurate. Our appraisers use XRF analysis and acid testing to confirm true purity rather than trusting a worn hallmark. Coins add another layer. A collectible gold coin can carry numismatic value well above its melt weight, and we recognize that difference, so you are never paid melt value for a rare piece worth far more to a collector.
Silver follows the same logic. We grade sterling silver (925), coin silver, and plated items separately, because only the real silver content carries value. If you want to sell your silver alongside gold, we weigh and price each metal on its own. This in-house, content-based approach is why Marina Del Rey, Mar Vista, and Santa Monica sellers consistently leave with more than they expected.
Gold Items We Buy for Cash
We buy gold in any condition, any karat, and any form. From fine jewelry to scrap metal, every item is evaluated for its full value.

Gold Coins & Bullion
American Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, gold bars, and ingots in any size. We honor numismatic value, not just melt.

What Our Customers Say
Common Questions About Selling Gold in Marina Del Rey
You can sell gold in Marina Del Rey at South Bay Coin, a licensed precious metals dealer a short drive south in Lawndale. We serve Marina Del Rey, Venice, and Playa del Rey sellers with free appraisals, transparent in-store testing, and same-day cash. Walk in, no appointment needed, or call first.
We determine your gold's value using three factors: its karat (purity), its weight in troy ounces or grams, and the current gold spot price. We test every piece with XRF or acid in front of you, weigh it on a calibrated scale, then explain the offer clearly before you decide anything.
Gold has held strong value through 2026, so many Marina Del Rey sellers find it a favorable time to cash in unused jewelry, coins, or scrap. The right moment depends on your goals. We give a free, no-pressure appraisal at today's spot price so you can decide with full information.
Yes. We buy silver coins, sterling silver flatware, silver bars, rounds, and silver jewelry from Marina Del Rey and Westside sellers. We grade sterling (925), coin silver, and plated pieces accurately, then weigh and price each by its true silver content. Bring your full set or a single piece.
We buy all karats: 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K, plus foreign-marked and unmarked gold. Higher karat means more pure gold per gram, which raises the value. We test each piece to confirm its true purity, so you are paid for exactly what your gold contains, never an estimate.
Scrap and dental gold are priced by pure gold content, not by appearance or condition. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, and dental crowns all hold value. We melt and refine in-house, so we test the actual purity, weigh the metal, and pay on real content rather than a rough guess.
Spot price is the global market rate for one troy ounce of pure gold. Your payout reflects your item's actual pure gold content, since most jewelry is an alloy. Because we refine in-house and skip the middleman, we pay a higher share of spot than pawn shops or mail-in buyers.
No appointment is needed. Walk into our Lawndale showroom during business hours and we will appraise your gold on the spot. Most visits take about fifteen minutes. If you prefer, call ahead or text us photos first, and bring a valid photo ID when you come to complete the sale.
A dedicated gold buyer that owns a refinery, like South Bay Coin, typically pays more than a pawn shop because there is no resale markup or middleman. Pawn shops price for quick resale. We refine directly, test transparently in front of you, and have bought gold since 1980 with full licensing.
South Bay Coin sits at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, a short drive south from Marina Del Rey down Lincoln Boulevard or the 405. Most Marina Del Rey, Venice, and Playa del Rey sellers reach us in fifteen to twenty minutes. Free parking is available right at our showroom door.
