Sell vs. pawn your broken gold

Sell outright for the highest cash amount today, or pawn it and get it back — pawn loans on gold are the easiest loans we write because the value is objective and the item stores in our vault.

Yes. We write pawn loans on broken gold every day. You get cash today and your item back when you repay, under Michigan-regulated terms.

Do you test gold in front of me?+

What if my gold isn't stamped?+

No problem — we acid test and XRF test unstamped pieces and pay on the actual purity.
