Sometimes you need a number on paper, not cash in hand. Insurance riders, estate settlements, divorce proceedings, IRS reporting, and personal recordkeeping all call for an independent, written gold appraisal. Our Dallas appraisal service delivers documented valuations you can hand to an insurer, attorney, or accountant.

We provide written gold appraisals for clients across the Dallas metro — including attorneys handling Highland Park and Preston Hollow estates, insurance brokers from Uptown and Plano, accountants serving Frisco and Southlake families, and individuals who simply want a documented number for their own records.
We perform several distinct appraisal types because the right number depends on the purpose. Insurance Replacement Value — the cost to replace a piece at retail today (used for jewelry insurance riders and policy schedules). Fair Market Value — the price a willing buyer and willing seller would agree on in an open market (used for estate, charitable donation, and IRS reporting). Liquidation Value — the cash a piece would bring in a quick sale (used for divorce, bankruptcy, and quick-settlement estate work). Items appraised include all forms of gold jewelry, gold coins (numismatic and bullion), gold bullion (bars and rounds), gold watches, dental gold for estate purposes, and gold medals and awards. Each appraisal is signed, dated, and includes the appraiser's qualifications and the method used.
Every appraised piece is photographed, weighed on a calibrated scale, tested for karat (electronic and acid where appropriate), and described in detail (style, era, hallmarks, stones, condition). Coins are checked against current market sources (CDN/Greysheet, recent auction results) and graded conservatively. Bullion is referenced to live spot at the date of appraisal. The final report includes the value method used, the supporting market references, the appraiser's signature and credentials, and is delivered as a printed PDF you can hand to any third party.
An appraisal is paid work; whether you sell to us afterward is entirely up to you.
Every value is supported by the method used (replacement, FMV, liquidation) and dated market references.
Our reports are formatted to standards used by major U.S. insurers and accepted in Texas probate and family courts.
Appraisals are private; we don't list, photograph for marketing, or discuss your items with anyone.
Four straightforward steps — start to finish, usually under twenty minutes.
Walk-in for one or two pieces. Call ahead for full estates or collections (it's faster for everyone).
Each piece is photographed, weighed, tested, and described. Larger jobs may take a single longer session.
Delivered as a printed PDF, line-itemized, with the appraiser's signature and the value method used.
The appraisal is yours regardless of what you do next. We're happy to also make a separate cash offer if you decide to sell.
