Where can I sell bullion near Detroit?

At the counter on 11 Mile in Madison Heights, a mile off I-75. Bars, rounds and the metal you bought somewhere else are all bought back the same way: verified while you watch, weighed on a calibrated scale, and priced off the live board. No appointment needed during counter hours.

Do you buy bullion you didn't sell me?

Yes. Where a bar or round came from makes no difference to what it is — PAMP, Argor-Heraeus, Valcambi, a mint round, an online order that arrived last year. It gets verified on its own merits and priced on its metal.

What do you pay for bullion?

The live spot price for that metal, less a stated spread you hear before you decide. Bullion is the tightest spread at the counter because it needs no sorting and no refining — it is already in the form the market wants. Nothing is deducted afterwards.

Do you buy platinum and palladium as well as gold and silver?

Yes — all four are bought and priced off their own spot, not lumped together. Platinum and palladium bars and rounds are less common across the counter, so calling ahead on a larger lot helps.

Should I open the assay card before I bring it in?

No. A sealed card is part of what the bar is worth, and breaking it costs you money for no reason. The verification works through the packaging, and an intact card with a matching serial is worth more than a loose bar of the same weight.

Is there a minimum, and can you handle a large position?

No minimum — one round gets the same test and the same board as a monster box. For a large position, a private appointment gives it a dedicated table and an unhurried count, away from the retail counter.

Sell · bullion & precious metals

Bullion sells back the way it was bought.

The bars in the safe deposit box, the tube of rounds from a dealer who has since closed, the position someone built a few ounces at a time — bullion comes back across the counter in Madison Heights for the same reason it went out: it is the one asset that sells anywhere at a price the whole world agrees on. Every piece is verified while you watch, weighed on a calibrated scale, and priced off the live board.

Bullion carries the tightest spread at the counter, because it arrives in the form the market already wants. Nothing has to be sorted, tested by karat or sent for refining, and nothing is deducted after the number is quoted.

Bullion coins — Eagles, Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, 90% U.S. silver — are usually worth more as coins than as metal, and are priced that way on the coins page. This page is bars and rounds.

What comes back

Any refiner, any size, any of the four metals.

A bar is three facts: what metal, how pure, how heavy. The refiner's name and the serial on the card are the fourth, and they matter to the spread rather than to the metal — a sealed Swiss kilo and a loose private-mint 10 oz bar are both real silver, but they do not resell the same way, and you are told which you have before a number is quoted.

Fractional bars carry a higher premium when they are bought and give some of it back when they are sold; that is the arithmetic of small pieces, not a judgment about them. The same board prices both directions, so you can check the buy side of this counter against the sell side on any given day.

Gold bars — gram, 1 oz, 10 oz, kilo, carded or loose
Silver bars and rounds — 1 oz through 100 oz, any mint
Platinum and palladium bars and rounds
LBMA-listed refiners and the smaller private mints alike
Metal bought anywhere — another dealer, online, inherited
Bullion coins — priced as coins, on the coins page

The number

Spot, weight, and a spread you hear first.

The live spot board at the top of every page on this site is the same board the counter prices from. Bullion is quoted against it directly: weight times spot, less the stated spread for that metal and form. There is no karat to establish and no melt loss to estimate, which is exactly why the spread is narrower here than on scrap or jewelry.

Verification happens in front of you, and how each thing is tested is set out on the standards page. If you would rather know roughly where you stand before driving over, the estimator runs the same arithmetic on a list you type in.
