• What is the cost of an appraisal?

• Can I change my mind after receiving an offer?

  Yes, you’re under no obligation. If you’re not satisfied with the offer from Accurate Precious Metals, you can decline it and have your items returned, though return shipping fees** may apply. The offer is only finalized once you accept it.

You can track your shipment at every stage until it reaches our facility, which is monitored 24/7 by closed-circuit security cameras.

• Will it cost me to get my items back if I decline the offer from Accurate Precious Metals?

  Yes, there will be a nominal return shipping fee, estimated at $5 to $12.95 depending on the item’s value. For items valued over $3,000, the fee may be higher to account for proper insurance coverage. All returned items will be tracked; please refer to our mail in policy for further details.

  Yes, we gladly accept sterling silver jewelry, flatware, and serving pieces. If you’d like to sell your items, simply ship them to us using our prepaid and insured shipping label, and we’ll provide you with an offer for your materials. For heavy or large items, we can assist by delivering free supplies—just contact a staff member, and we’ll coordinate the delivery of larger security boxes and labels to you.

• Can I sell gold or silver coins to Accurate Precious Metals?

  Yes, we purchase gold coins and silver coins, along with jewelry, silverware, and other items. When you send us your gold or silver coins, our team will authenticate them and provide a fair market offer—please refer to our mail-in policy for details. Hint: Shipping coins isn’t typically covered by our free shipping due to their weight and high value, but if you give us a call, we might be able to arrange something for you.

• Does Accurate Precious Metals purchase diamonds?

  Yes, we buy diamonds at Accurate Precious Metals. If your items include diamonds, our expert appraisers, including a GIA graduate on staff, will evaluate them based on the 4 C’s—color, cut, clarity, and carat—to ensure accurate offers and the highest payouts. Due to our high volume of transactions as a refinery, we do not provide a stone removal service.

• Is Accurate Precious Metals a legitimate business?

  Yes, Accurate Precious Metals is a trusted and reputable company, founded in 2012 and maintaining a strong reputation for many years. We proudly hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and over 1,000 5-star Google reviews. We offer a secure and reliable way to ship and sell your gold, silver, diamonds, and platinum, with protected shipping, full tracking, and fair market payouts. With over $250 million in transactions since our founding, we’re nationally competitive, eliminating the middleman so you get more for your money by coming straight to the source instead of going through other companies that sell to us. As a refinery, we are the source these other companies sell to, ensuring you receive higher payouts by dealing directly with us.

However, if you prefer to ship your items to our facility on your own, we advise insuring your package for its estimated value and choosing a reliable carrier like USPS, FedEx, or UPS that offers tracking. Please notify us prior to shipping so we can keep an eye out, and we’d prefer to create a reference ID to help identify your items, as we handle a high volume of shipments.
