Where to Sell PAMP Suisse Gold Bars in Los Angeles
South Bay Coin is where to sell PAMP Suisse gold bars in Los Angeles without mailing them anywhere. We are a licensed, bonded and insured precious metals dealer working from the same Lawndale storefront since 1980, and in 45 years we have bought these bars in every state they arrive in: sealed, opened, or separated from their cards in a drawer.
A PAMP bar trades on the gold inside it, and that gold is the same whichever counter you walk into. What changes is how much of it reaches you. We run an in-house refinery and settle face to face, so no wholesaler takes a turn between your bar and the metal market when you sell gold in Los Angeles.
Every bar is read in front of you. We weigh it, match the serial stamped on the bar against the serial printed on its card when one is present, and explain how the offer is built. Appraisals are free, nothing sealed is opened without your say-so, and you can sell part of a holding. If the same safe holds gold and silver bars from other refiners or a run of gold and silver coins, all of it is appraised in one visit.

How Much Is My PAMP Suisse Gold Bar Worth?
A PAMP bar is worth its stated weight of pure gold against the market on the day you sell. Every minted PAMP gold bar is .9999 fine, the equivalent of 24 karat, so nothing is estimated: the weight is confirmed on a calibrated scale in front of you and the offer is built on the gold it represents.
The assay card is where sellers expect the rest of the value to sit, and almost no page explains it. The card is a claim about the bar, not the bar itself, and only the pair makes the claim true. A sealed card proves a pairing between a printed serial and the piece behind the window, not the metal. Counterfeit packaging has been produced in the same laminated construction, with the same clear window, carrying a serial printed to match whatever was sealed inside.
The useful half of that is good news. Because the card was never the proof, a bar arriving without one loses nothing load-bearing: it states its own weight and fineness, and both are confirmed at the counter.
Sell PAMP Gold Bars With or Without the Assay Card
Cards come apart in four ordinary ways, and three of them are not damage at all. Many cards ship under a peel-off protective film that PAMP intends the owner to remove, so a seller who removed it believes a seal was broken when nothing was. The Multigram sheet is built to separate, since it holds twenty five individually sealed one gram bars meant to be snapped apart. Estates arrive with the bars in one box and the cards in another. And plenty of owners opened the card years ago to see the gold.
What an open card costs is the pairing, and only the pairing. It is not a grading opinion that stops existing the moment a holder is broken; it states weight and fineness, and both survive the packaging because both can be measured. Two things are worth avoiding: never tape, glue or reseal a card, which reads as tampering to the next buyer, and never scratch or file a bar to satisfy yourself about the metal.
Is My PAMP Fortuna Bar Gold or Another Metal?
Lady Fortuna is a design, not a metal. PAMP strikes the same figure on gold, silver and platinum bars, so the picture a seller recognizes settles nothing. The reverse settles it, because that is the face carrying the weight, the fineness and the refiner marks. A one ounce silver Fortuna and a one ounce gold Fortuna are easy to tell apart in the hand and hard to tell apart in a photograph.
The same reading applies across the Swiss refiners. Credit Suisse, Valcambi, Argor-Heraeus and Metalor bars all state weight and fineness on the metal, and a mixed holding is sorted maker by maker and size by size rather than weighed in one pile. Sorting is free and it is the part that protects you. Bring the odd size and the one you are unsure about.

What Gold Sellers Say About South Bay Coin
Questions About Selling PAMP Suisse Gold Bars
Where can I sell PAMP Suisse gold bars in Los Angeles?
You can sell PAMP Suisse gold bars in person at South Bay Coin, 16916 Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, serving all of Los Angeles County. We have bought bullion since 1980, appraise sealed and card-less bars free, and pay the same day.
How much is my PAMP Suisse gold bar worth?
It is worth its stated weight in pure gold against the market on the day you sell, because every minted PAMP gold bar is .9999 fine. We weigh it in front of you and build the offer on that gold content, with no scrap-style deductions.
Do I need the assay card to sell a PAMP gold bar?
No. We buy PAMP bars sealed in the CertiPAMP card and loose without one. The card states weight and fineness rather than proving the metal, and both are confirmed at our counter, so a bar arriving alone is bought on full gold content.
Is a PAMP bar worth less if the assay card has been opened?
Not to us. Opening the card breaks the pairing between the printed serial and the bar, and that is all it breaks. The gold is untouched. Published claims about what an opened card costs disagree sharply, which is reason to have the bar read, not the packaging.
What is Veriscan on a PAMP gold bar?
Veriscan is PAMP's system for recording the microscopic surface pattern of a bar so it can be matched against the refiner's records. Guidance varies on which bars scan through their packaging and which must come out, and older bars predate the program, so we never require it.
Should I reseal or tape a PAMP assay card that came open?
No. Tape, glue or any attempt to reseal reads as tampering to the next buyer and makes an honest situation look dishonest. The same goes for scratching or filing a bar to check the metal. Bring it as it is and let the counter do that work.
Do you buy single 1 gram bars from a PAMP Multigram sheet?
Yes. The Multigram sheet holds twenty five individually sealed one gram bars and is designed to be separated, so a snapped-off bar is a normal product, not a damaged one. Bring a whole sheet, a partial sheet or loose grams and each is weighed and quoted.
Do you buy kilo PAMP gold bars and other large sizes?
Yes. We buy PAMP gold from fractional grams up through 100 gram, 250 gram, 500 gram and 1 kilo cast bars. Larger holdings are settled in one sitting, and because it happens in person you avoid the freight, insurance and declared-value limits of shipping bullion.
Is it better to sell PAMP bars in person or to a mail-in buyer?
Selling in person keeps the bars in your hands until you are paid, removes shipping and insurance cost, and closes the window in which the market can move while someone else holds your property. You also see the weight taken and hear the offer explained.
Do you buy Credit Suisse, Valcambi and other Swiss gold bars?
Yes. Credit Suisse, Valcambi, Argor-Heraeus and Metalor bars are bought on the same basis as PAMP, sealed or loose, any size. A mixed holding is sorted by maker and size before anything is quoted, so no bar is absorbed into a lot at a rate meant for another.
