"My Bride had an old gold watch that she didn't wear anymore. Mark not only offered us 7.67% more than others had offered, but he said he would pay us extra if he sold it for more than anticipated. He even met us at our own bank. So ethical and professional!"

Your Questions, Answered Honestly

"How do I know your cash offer is fair?"

We show you everything: the certified scale reading, the karat test, the live spot price, the math. Full transparency, every time. If our offer doesn't work for you, no hard feelings.

"Is broken or old gold still worth cash?"

Yes. We pay for the metal content, not the appearance. Broken chains, single earrings, scrap pieces, dental gold — it all has cash value. No deal is too small.

"I don't want to get pressured to sell."

Neither would we. That's why there's zero obligation. Get your cash quote, think about it, compare prices. Come back when you're ready—or don't. It's your call.

Cash for Gold — Frequently Asked Questions

How does cash for gold work?

Bring your gold items to us — or we'll come to you. We weigh each piece on a certified scale, test purity by hallmark and acid or XRF, then quote you a payout based on the live spot price. Accept the offer and you walk out with cash the same day. No mailing, no waiting, no obligation if you decline.

How much cash will I get for my gold?

Your payout is based on three factors: the karat purity (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K), the weight in grams or troy ounces, and the live gold spot price the day you sell. We pay up to 30% more than pawn shops and chain jewelers because we have no expensive storefront overhead. Call (612) 802-9686 for a same-day quote.

Do you pay cash on the spot for gold?

Yes — same-day cash, every time. Once you accept our offer, we hand you cash or, for larger transactions, a certified check or bank wire. No waiting periods, no checks that need to clear, no mail-in lag time. We also offer secure bank meets for high-value sales.

What kind of gold do you accept for cash?

All of it. Gold jewelry (rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, watches), gold coins (Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, pre-1933 US gold), gold bars and bullion, dental gold, broken pieces, scrap, estate collections, and inherited gold. Any karat from 8K to 24K.

Is cash for gold safe and legal in Minnesota?

Yes. Minnesota requires precious metal dealers to be licensed, record seller identification, and follow strict reporting protocols. We comply with all state and local regulations. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and you're protected by the same recordkeeping that protects us.

Why do you pay more cash for gold than pawn shops or jewelry stores?

Pawn shops typically pay 40–60% of melt value because they need to resell at retail with significant markup. We're direct buyers — no expensive showroom, no commissioned sales staff, no franchise fees. That overhead difference goes straight into your payout, which is how we consistently beat their offers by up to 30%.

Twin Cities Cash for Gold

Cash for Gold — Your Complete Guide

Everything Twin Cities residents need to know to turn unwanted gold into the highest possible same-day cash payout

You found the best place for cash for gold in the Twin Cities. Gold Buyers Twin Cities is a division of Landmark Diamonds & Precious Metals, Inc., serving Minnesota families since 1979. Our GIA Certified Gemologist uses real-time spot pricing so you walk away with the highest possible same-day cash payout—up to 30% more than pawn shops, no pressure, no hidden fees.

Gold prices have hit record highs, and more Twin Cities families than ever are turning unused jewelry, inherited collections, and old coins into same-day cash for gold. The challenge isn't deciding to sell — it's finding a buyer who pays a fair number and treats you with respect.

When you search for cash for gold near me, you'll find dozens of pawn shops, mall kiosks, and mail-in services all promising "top dollar." The truth: most of them mark down 40–60% from melt value because their business models depend on resale margins. We're different. We're direct buyers with low overhead, which means more of the gold's value lands in your pocket.

How to Get the Most Cash for Gold

Gather Everything Gold

Don't sort or clean. Mismatched earrings, broken chains, school rings, dental gold, scrap pieces — bring it all. We pay for the metal content, not the appearance, and you'd be surprised how much that "junk drawer" is actually worth.

Get Multiple Quotes

Smart sellers compare. Pawn shops, mall kiosks, and chain jewelers will all quote you different numbers — usually well below market. Our offer is transparent, calculated against the live spot price, and we encourage you to compare.

Watch the Test & Weigh

Insist on watching every step. Our GIA Certified Gemologist tests purity in front of you with acid or XRF, weighs each piece on a certified digital scale, and shows you the live spot price calculation. No back rooms, no surprises.

Walk Out With Cash

Accept our offer and you leave with cash in hand. Same day, every time. Larger transactions can be settled by certified check or bank wire. Not happy? Walk away with zero obligation.

What Gold We Pay Cash For

Gold Jewelry

Rings, necklaces, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants, watches. Broken, tangled, missing stones — we pay for the gold. All karats, 10K through 24K.

Gold Coins & Bullion

American Eagles, Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, gold bars, pre-1933 US gold, and numismatic coins. Paid by weight, purity, and current market value.

Scrap & Dental Gold

Broken pieces, dental crowns, gold fillings, gold wire, industrial gold, and any scrap. We pay for the gold content regardless of form or condition.

Estate & Inherited Gold

Whole estate collections, inherited jewelry boxes, mixed bags of unknown items. We sort, identify, and price each piece — and provide written appraisals for probate.

Twin Cities residents searching for cash for gold near me choose us because we do things differently. Every piece is weighed on a certified scale and tested in front of you. You see the karat, the weight, and how the live spot price translates to your offer — no mystery, no pressure, just a fair deal.

Broken or Unworn

Gold Prices Are High

Gold is near record territory. Items bought decades ago at much lower prices now represent meaningful gains. Locking in profits while the market is rich is smart — and same-day cash is the cleanest exit.
