Bullion buyers · Hamden, Connecticut
Sell gold & silver bullion with a clear offer.
Bring your bars, rounds and investment coins to Haven Coin & Jewelry. We evaluate your bullion in person, explain what affects its value, and give you a written offer.
Free evaluation. No obligation to sell. Same-day payment by check if you accept.
What you can bring
Gold bars, silver rounds, and the coins you know.
Silver bars & rounds
Silver bars, rounds, American Silver Eagles and silver Maple Leafs. Keep tubes, boxes and matching pieces together if convenient; you do not need a complete set.
Costco & packaged bullion
Gold bars bought at Costco, including PAMP products, can be evaluated here. Keep assay cards and packaging intact. We assess the bullion itself, regardless of the original retailer.
Have an unfamiliar mint, an unmarked piece, or a mixed collection? Call and describe it. You do not need to identify every item before arranging an evaluation.
An in-person conversation
See how we arrive at your offer.

Our free buying evaluation is different from a formal insurance or estate appraisal. Read what an evaluation includes.
Understand the price
Spot price is the starting point. The item matters, too.
Actual metal content
The relevant weight is the fine gold or silver content, not simply the gross weight of a coin or its packaging. Different products have different specifications, so identification comes before the calculation.
Product & condition
The refiner or mint, size, finish, condition and current buyer demand can affect resale value. Proofs, scarce dates and graded coins may need a collectible assessment alongside their metal value.
Current buying market
A purchase offer reflects current market information, resale or refining costs, and the buyer’s margin. The retail premium you paid is not automatically returned when you sell.
No blanket payout promise.
We do not advertise a fixed percentage of spot for every bar or coin. Ask which weight, purity and market reference support your offer—and whether a product premium is included. Compare offers for the same items at roughly the same time, since prices move.

Before your visit
Keep it intact. Bring what you have.
There is no need to polish silver, open sealed bars or remove coins from grading holders. Existing packaging and records help us understand the collection, but you can still ask for an evaluation without them.
If a collection includes rare coins or inherited albums, keep those alongside the bullion so they can be identified individually. Our coin-buying page explains that process.
- Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
- Keep assay cards, capsules, tubes and boxes with their items.
- Bring purchase receipts or an inventory if available; they are helpful, not required.
- Separate anything you want to keep from the items you may sell.
- Book ahead for a large holding or a collection with several owners.
Questions before selling bullion
Can I sell a gold bar I bought at Costco?
Yes. Bring your gold bar with its existing packaging and any receipt you have. We evaluate the actual bar—its identity, weight, purity and current resale demand. Where you bought it does not guarantee a particular offer.
Do I need the original packaging or an assay card?
Bring them if you have them, but missing packaging does not prevent an evaluation. Leave sealed assay cards, coin capsules, tubes and grading holders intact. Packaging can affect resale appeal; it does not replace authentication.
Will you pay the spot price for my bullion?
We do not promise spot price or a fixed percentage on every item. Your offer depends on verified metal content, the product, current demand and buying costs. We explain the offer before you decide whether to sell.
Can I bring one coin or a mixed collection?
Yes. Bring a single bullion coin, bars and rounds, or a mixed collection. Keep existing labels and holders with the pieces. Book ahead for a large collection so we can plan time for the evaluation.
Should I clean tarnished silver rounds or coins?
No. Bring them as they are. Cleaning can alter surfaces and reduce collectible or resale value. Tarnish alone does not establish whether an item is genuine or what it is worth.
How do I get paid if I accept the offer?
If you accept our written offer, Haven provides same-day payment by check at the shop. The evaluation is free, with no obligation to sell. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
