Where to Sell Valcambi Platinum in Los Angeles
If you want to sell Valcambi platinum in Los Angeles, South Bay Coin is a licensed, bonded and insured precious metals dealer at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, in business since 1980. Sellers come in from Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne and across Los Angeles County because the process is plain: your bar is examined in front of you, the offer is explained, and there is no pressure to accept it. Many Valcambi bars reach us years after they were bought, kept as a hedge or inherited in a drawer with nothing but the card, and every one gets the same careful look.
Valcambi is one of the largest precious metals refiners in the world, based in Balerna in the Ticino region of southern Switzerland, and its platinum bars are recognized wherever bullion trades. A genuine Valcambi bar is priced on the platinum it contains, and South Bay Coin buys bullion directly and pays you directly, with no consignment, no listing fees and no waiting on a third party to decide what your bar is worth.
The same care applies whether you bring a single one ounce bar, a CombiBar that has been broken into loose grams, or a mixed holding that also includes gold and silver bars or gold and silver coins. If your platinum comes from several refiners and mints, our page on how to sell platinum in Los Angeles covers the full range we buy, from Swiss bars to government-minted platinum coins.

How Much Is a Valcambi Platinum Bar Worth?
A Valcambi platinum bar is worth the platinum it contains at the live market price, and the bar itself tells you most of what is needed to work that out. Valcambi strikes its platinum bars at .9995 fine, so the stamped weight and the fineness together give the platinum content before anything is tested. Our job at the counter is to confirm that the bar in front of us is the bar its stamps describe.
Each bar carries the Valcambi Suisse logo, its weight, the metal and fineness, and the assayer's mark reading CHI Essayeur Fondeur. Smaller bars are sealed in a tamper-evident assay card printed with the same serial as the bar, while larger investment bars travel with their own certificate. We weigh each bar on a calibrated scale, match the serial to its card or certificate, check the dimensions, and confirm purity with non-destructive testing, explaining each step while you watch. If anything does not line up, we tell you what we found and why before any offer is made.
One detail surprises many sellers from Torrance to Long Beach. For decades Credit Suisse owned the Valcambi refinery, and bullion bars stamped with the bank's name were made in Balerna. If your holding mixes Valcambi and Credit Suisse bars, you may be looking at two names from one Swiss plant, and we evaluate both the same way.
Sell a Valcambi Platinum CombiBar, Whole or Divided
The Valcambi platinum CombiBar is 50 grams of .9995 fine platinum scored into fifty one gram pieces that snap apart by hand. It was designed to be broken, and many of the CombiBars that reach our counter arrive exactly that way: a partial bar still in its card, a strip of ten in an envelope, or a handful of loose grams in a coin purse.
Two things change once a CombiBar is divided, and neither costs you any platinum. The assay card certifies the complete 50 gram bar, so the moment pieces leave it, the card no longer describes what you are holding. Every piece, though, is struck with the Valcambi logo, its own weight and fineness, and the assayer's mark, so each gram stays identifiable on its own.
That is why we buy CombiBars in any state. A whole bar is matched to its card. A partial bar and any loose pieces are counted, weighed together on a calibrated scale and priced for the platinum they contain. There is no need to reassemble anything or hunt for missing grams before you drive over from Redondo Beach or Hawthorne.

What Our Platinum and Bullion Sellers Say
Questions About Selling Valcambi Platinum in Los Angeles
Where can I sell Valcambi platinum bars in Los Angeles?
To sell Valcambi platinum in Los Angeles, bring it to South Bay Coin at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, open Monday to Friday 10 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 3 PM. No appointment is needed. We check each bar in front of you and pay by cash or check before you leave.
How much is a Valcambi platinum bar worth?
A Valcambi platinum bar is worth its platinum content at the live market price: the stamped weight, confirmed on a calibrated scale, at .9995 fine. Because the refinery is recognized worldwide, a genuine bar trades close to that metal value. We show you the weight and explain the offer before you decide anything.
How can I tell if my Valcambi platinum bar is real?
A genuine Valcambi platinum bar carries the Valcambi Suisse logo, its weight, the fineness 999,5 and the assayer's mark reading CHI Essayeur Fondeur, and its serial should match the assay card. Those details can be copied, so we also confirm weight, dimensions and purity with non-destructive testing, in front of you.
Can I sell a Valcambi platinum bar without the assay card?
Yes. We buy Valcambi platinum bars that are out of their assay card or have lost their certificate. A sealed card with a matching serial makes the check faster, but a loose bar is still platinum and still sellable once we confirm its weight and fineness at our Lawndale counter.
Do you buy the Valcambi platinum CombiBar?
Yes. We buy the Valcambi platinum CombiBar, the 50 gram bar scored into fifty one gram pieces, whether it is still whole in its card or partly broken apart. A whole bar is matched to its card and serial, and any remaining section is weighed and priced for the platinum it holds.
Can I sell broken-off pieces of a Valcambi platinum CombiBar?
Yes. Every one gram piece of a Valcambi platinum CombiBar is struck with the Valcambi logo, its weight, its fineness and the assayer's mark, so a separated piece stays identifiable on its own. Bring as many as you have, in any container. We count and weigh them in front of you and price the platinum they contain.
What is the difference between Valcambi and PAMP Suisse platinum?
Valcambi and PAMP Suisse are both LBMA-accredited refiners in Switzerland's Ticino region, within a few miles of each other, and both strike platinum bars at .9995 fine. The difference is design and packaging, not metal. PAMP bars typically carry the Lady Fortuna motif. South Bay Coin buys platinum from both refiners.
What sizes of Valcambi platinum bars do you buy?
We buy every size, from one gram bars and the 50 gram CombiBar through one ounce bars and larger investment bars up to a kilogram. Smaller bars usually come sealed in an assay card, while larger bars travel with a certificate. Every size is welcome when you sell Valcambi platinum in Los Angeles.
Do I need an appointment to sell platinum in Lawndale?
No appointment is needed. Walk into our Lawndale showroom on Hawthorne Boulevard during business hours and we will examine your Valcambi platinum on the spot. If you would rather ask first, call (310) 363-7808 or text photos of the bars and their cards to (310) 363-2697 before you make the drive.
Do you buy Credit Suisse and other Swiss platinum bars?
Yes. We buy platinum bars from Credit Suisse, PAMP Suisse, Argor-Heraeus and other recognized refiners, plus coins such as the American Platinum Eagle. Credit Suisse owned the Valcambi refinery in Balerna for decades and bars carrying the bank's name were made there, so the two names often share one Swiss plant.

How We Value Your Valcambi Platinum
Valcambi platinum bars are struck in .9995 fine platinum and produced in sizes that run from one gram fractional pieces up to ten ounce and kilogram investment bars. Smaller bars arrive sealed in a tamper-evident assay card, while larger bars carry their own certificate. Each bar is marked with the Valcambi logo, its weight and purity, the assayer's mark reading CHI ESSAYEUR FONDEUR, and a unique two-letter, six-digit serial number. These details are exactly what our appraisers read first.
Value comes down to three things: weight in troy ounces, confirmed purity, and the live platinum market. We weigh each bar on a calibrated scale, match the serial number to the assay card, and confirm fineness with professional, non-destructive testing. Because recognized bullion from an LBMA-accredited refiner like Valcambi carries certified purity, it is highly liquid and trades close to the metal's true worth, which is why it earns a stronger offer than unmarked or unverifiable items.
This is the same disciplined approach we bring to every metal we handle, whether you are here to sell gold bullion, silver, or platinum. We explain each step out loud so you understand precisely how your offer is reached.
