TC Precious Metals will be in Moose Jaw, making its way through Western Canada.
You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Moose Jaw Public Library on June 4th and 5th between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. No appointment is required.
Terry Burrill is a precious metals buyer and president of TC Precious Metals headquartered in Airdrie, Alberta, and takes this show out to western Canada.
“TC Precious Metals has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter,” says Burrill. “This allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. TC Precious Metals purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers, as well as from the general public.”
In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low, but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong.
TC Precious Metals analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic (collectable) value are set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewelry and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then, a cash offer is made, and you decide to sell or not.
“If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it’s also about information,” says Burrill. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark price of what items are worth. There is no obligation and we don’t pressure anyone into selling.
“Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce.”
A result of this is gold and silver purchased at the shows and later melted goes back into the market with a lower environmental impact.
Out-of-fashion jewelry, single earrings, broken chains, unloved jewelry, charm bracelets, dental gold, nuggets and fine gold are all accepted, along with sterling silver flatware sets. Other valuable items are coins with silver content; dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars from Canada and America can be sorted and the silver content determined in no time at all. People are encouraged to bring in any and all coins for assessment.
TC Precious Metals can assess and purchase Canadian and Dominion of Canada paper money.
They have extensive experience working with estate, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner.
