Lake Worth Gold Mine

unknown

I've only sold scrap once before (up in Pennsylvania) and I wasn't happy with the proceeds so I was on my guard when I tried it again down here in Florida. A much different experience!! I LOVE THESE GUYS!! Gold Mine appears to be a converted bank or gas station. Whatever it is there's lots of parking. (Don't look for a strip mall, it's all by itself on Lake Worth Road just east of the turnpike on the south side.) I liked this place as soon as I walked in. There were other customers but I didn't have to wait. I had a load of stuff. They did everything right in front of me, and they're fast, but not too fast to ask your questions and follow what they're doing. They checked all the marks on the silverware. Then they carefully deconstructed some crummy silver pieces and stripped the outer silver layer off. They weighed that silver scrap. They didn't deconstruct the butter knives because there's only silver in the handles and it's too much work, so they estimated those. I got $75 for all that junk. They checked all the gold using an acid test system which provides a color code. I had 14, 18 and 24 karat little jewelry pieces and odd scrap. They carefully weighed everything. I got $85 for that junk. Then we got to the silver dollar coins. We discussed those in detail. First we checked the price book used by professional dealers. Of the five coins 3 were not worth more than the silver content, but 2 of the coins were collectible. So we checked eBay to see what they were really selling for. Keep in mind that the value of collectible coins is based on their condition, and grading a coin that has been in circulation requires an expert opinion and can differ between collectors so it's not an exact science. My coins were selling for $170 apiece on eBay, but that's before deducting the eBay commission and assuming they actually sold and assuming the buyers gave them a reasonable grade. So Gold Mine and I settled on $115 apiece for our transaction. That's a wholesale price but the hassle of selling them at retail now belongs to Gold Mine and I can tell you that grading those 2 coins is going to be hotly disputed on eBay by the experts!! Not my problem!! I LOVE THESE GUYS. They're honest, reasonable and very capable. They'll respect you and address your concerns. I made almost $500 for doing nothing. Not bad... Delete review

I found the representatives friendly, knowledgeable, professional and I found their prices fair for what I sold. This was my first time using this business. I worked with Steve who was professional and confirmed some things I thought to be true and provided some insight on silver /gold. I would use them again.

Very friendly and very very honest as far as their assesment of the gold. I would go back again when the price of gold goes up, and do business with them

I trust them highly. I trust what they say and they are very fair. They are an honest company. We had an issue but they were extremely proactive in resolving this immediately.

I went to Lake Worth Gold Mine to get appraisals and sell jewelry, coins and stamps I wanted to unload. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I have gone to them several times to sell items and they are very fair in the price they give me for items. I would suggest anyone check them out if they are interested in getting a fair price for things they want to sell.

For the first time in my life, I decided that I wanted to inquire about selling several pieces of jewelry, including some pieces with diamonds. I also decided to sell an expensive watch I was no longer using. I was extremely leery of this endeavor, imagining the possibility of being taken advantage of because of my lack of knowledge. I also didn't like the idea of going into what I imagined might be a pawn shop environment nor did I want to risk having my taste or my items belittled by an arrogant and quot;by appointment onlyand quot; jeweler. My local newspaper was filled with ads advertising this service and of course I tried to research available reviews and Better Business Bureau information. As I feared, many of the businesses from the newspaper had less than wonderful reviews, including some luxury jewelers. I remembered driving past Lake Worth Gold Mine on several occasions and while their location is not in a trendy neighborhood and isn't luxurious on the outside, neither is it in a strip mall and it doesn't look like a pawn shop. I found one positive review on Angie's List and a good rating from the Better Business Bureau and decided to give them a try. My experience could not have been more positive. At no time did I feel pressured or taken advantage of. Several of the staff helped me during my time there and, to a person, they were friendly and genuine. The lady who did most of my transaction was extremely kind and made me feel as if she cared about me, not just about making money. She patiently explained how they value the items and in a couple of cases actually led me to the decision that I would be better off keeping two of the items because their aesthetic value was greater than what she could pay. I don't have the experience to know whether I got the very best possible price, but I believe I did. I am very satisfied that I was treated fairly regarding the price and am absolutely convinced of the honesty of everyone I interacted with. I saw other customers being paid in cash and they offered to give me cash, but I opted to receive a check because I didn't want a large amount of money on my person. Should I ever have occasion to sell similar items in the future I will most definitely return there and will advise my friends to do the same.

Lake Worth Gold Mine is a company that purchases Gold and other precious metals, coins, jewelry and estates. I was researching on the Better Bureau site for this type of company. I looked for a business that is local to me, has a good rating and no complaints filed. I chose Lake Worth Gold Mine as the best out of 3 possible choices after I called and was greeted by a friendly person who was eager for my business. I brought in some dental gold that had been accumulating to see what it was worth and what I might get paid to sell it. I watched the testing process as it was explained to me. The offer I received seemed very fair. I was paid immediately, in cash, for the gold. The transaction was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely go back.
