YOUR STARTING NUMBER · USD

What could your metal be worth?

Estimate 80% of gold or silver melt value. Weight and purity must be verified by the Idaho Pawn & Gold team in Idaho.

80%of melt value

A current market reference is unavailable. Enter your own spot price to explore an illustration, or request a review.

Choose a valid spot price to calculate.

This is not a locked offer. Use metal-only weight: stones, nonmetal parts and plating are not payable as solid gold or silver. Final value depends on verified content and the agreed market price at evaluation. Any shipping, insurance, return costs or other deductions must be agreed before you send an item.

Designer, diamond or collectible piece?

Rolex watches, Louis Vuitton items, designer jewelry, diamonds and collectible coins can have value beyond metal content. Send photos for a separate evaluation; the melt calculator does not price these premiums.

The reviewing team is in Idaho. Confirm evaluation, shipping and payment arrangements before mailing anything.

THE LOCAL ROUTE · BILLINGS, MONTANA

Compare before you decide.

This is a Billings starting point, not statewide coverage. Before a long Montana trip, send an inventory of bullion, coins and scrap so the buyer can confirm the relevant evaluation service.

  • Should I arrange additional time for graded coins or a large lot?

A BETTER FIRST CONVERSATION

Keep the details.
Lose the guesswork.

Start your Montana inquiry online. Your inquiry is reviewed by the Idaho Pawn team. We will discuss what is possible before arranging any visit, shipment or payment.

  1. Show us what you have.

    Upload clear photos and include markings, weight and any paperwork you already have.

  2. Review the reference.

    Compare the catalog's buy and sell indications. Metal content is useful context; collectible value and condition need an individual look.

  3. Agree on the next step.

    Keep your item until the team confirms the evaluation and handling arrangements with you.
