Selling Gold Medals and Awards
At Dallas Cash for Gold, we understand that gold medals and awards often represent significant achievements and memories in your life. These prestigious items typically hold both sentimental value due to the accomplishments they represent and substantial intrinsic value because of their gold content. When you’re considering options to sell gold medals in Dallas, our experienced team provides a respectful, confidential, and fair assessment process that acknowledges both the emotional and material worth of your awards.
Why Sell Your Gold Medals?
Life circumstances change, and there are many practical reasons why you might consider selling your gold medals or awards. Financial needs often arise unexpectedly, and converting unused valuables into immediate cash can provide necessary relief during challenging times.
Many of our clients find that decluttering their homes and letting go of items that no longer serve a purpose in their lives creates both physical and emotional space. Inherited medals or awards that don’t carry personal significance for you might better serve you as financial resources rather than collecting dust in storage. Additionally, with gold prices remaining relatively high in today’s market, this could be an opportune time to sell gold medals in Dallas and maximize your return on these assets.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the value of my gold medals?
The value of gold medals primarily depends on their gold content, purity, and weight, which we measure using specialized equipment. We then calculate the value based on the current day’s gold market price to ensure you receive the most up-to-date offer. Some medals may have additional collector’s value depending on their rarity, historical significance, or condition, which our appraisers will also consider. Every evaluation is conducted transparently, and we’re happy to explain each step of our process.
Can I sell gold-plated medals, or do they need to be solid gold?
You can absolutely sell gold-plated medals and awards, though their value will differ from solid gold items. Gold-plated medals contain a thin layer of gold over a base metal, making their gold content significantly less than solid gold medals. Our sophisticated testing equipment can determine the precise amount of gold present in plated items and we’ll offer a fair price based on that content. We accept all types of gold items regardless of purity or composition, including solid gold, gold-plated, and gold alloy medals.
What documents do I need to sell my gold medals?
For most standard transactions at Dallas Cash for Gold, you’ll need a valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license, state ID card, or passport to verify your identity. For military medals or specialty items, additional documentation proving ownership might be requested in certain circumstances. No special documentation is needed regarding the medals themselves, though any certificates of authenticity or provenance can sometimes enhance value for collector-grade items.
How does selling to Dallas Cash for Gold compare to online gold buyers?
Selling your gold medals to Dallas Cash for Gold offers several advantages over online gold buyers, including immediate payment rather than waiting for mail-in evaluation and return shipping. Our face-to-face service allows you to ask questions, understand the evaluation process, and make an immediate decision without the risks associated with shipping valuable items. Additionally, online buyers often have higher overhead costs that they pass on to sellers through lower offers, while our streamlined local operation allows us to consistently offer more competitive prices.
Are there any medals that you don't purchase?
While we buy the vast majority of gold medals and awards, there are certain items we cannot legally purchase, such as Congressional Medals of Honor and some specific military decorations protected by federal law. Additionally, counterfeit or fraudulent medals would not be eligible for purchase. If you’re uncertain about whether we can purchase your specific medals, we encourage you to contact us directly for clarification before visiting our location.
