Real reviews from real customers of Landmark Diamonds & Precious Metals.
"Mark and Susan were incredibly helpful in presenting options and guidance for the sale of my diamond ring. Both are knowledgeable and realistic about the business."
"Mark was great to work with, he is very knowledgeable and took time to answer all my questions. I didn't feel rushed and was happy with the outcome."
"Professional, easy to work with and gave us their total attention. We got a great price for our gold, much higher than other jewelers offered. Excellent referral to an artist who helped us to design just what we wanted."
"A wonderful experience. Both fair, considerate, respectful, and informative. Mark was a joy to speak with. He helped us understand the fair value of it, cleaning to improve shine and overall appeal. Honestly one of the kindest, most considerate salesmen I have ever worked with."
"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!"
"Mark not only offered us 7.67% more than others had offered, he even met us at our own bank so we could deposit the cash right away. He was so ethical and professional that we want to highly recommend him to others!"

Our GIA Certified Gemologist evaluates every coin individually. Numismatic premium gets paid separately, on top of melt value. You'll see two numbers — and you get whichever is higher.
Absolutely. We routinely buy entire coin collections — hundreds of pieces, six figures or more. We can meet at your bank for added security and provide written appraisals for probate and tax records.
Neither would we. That's why there's zero obligation. Get your quote, think about it, compare prices. Come back when you're ready—or don't. It's your call.
We buy virtually every gold coin minted: American Gold Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, Austrian Philharmonics, British Britannias and Sovereigns, Mexican Libertads, Chinese Pandas, pre-1933 US gold (Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, Liberty Heads, Indian Heads), and graded coins from PCGS or NGC. Any size, any year, any condition.
Whichever is higher. Our GIA Certified Gemologist evaluates every coin twice — once for its melt value (gold weight × spot price) and once for its numismatic premium (year, mint mark, grade, rarity). You get paid based on whichever number is greater. We never lump rare coins in with bullion.
We use multiple authentication methods: precise weight on a certified digital scale, diameter and thickness verification with calipers, magnetic and ping tests for base-metal counterfeits, and XRF analysis for non-destructive purity testing. For higher-value coins we cross-reference die varieties and mint marks against published references.
No — please don't. Cleaning a coin can permanently destroy its numismatic value, sometimes cutting it by 50% or more. Toning, patina, and natural wear are part of how collectors and graders evaluate a coin. Bring your coins exactly as you received them.
Yes. Slabbed coins from PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG are evaluated based on grade, certification number, population reports, and current auction comparables. Bring the slab as-is — we never crack out a graded coin without your permission.
Three inputs: live spot price for gold, the coin's gold weight, and any numismatic premium based on year, mint mark, condition, or rarity. You see all three numbers in front of you. Common bullion coins like American Gold Eagles trade close to spot; rare-date pre-1933 coins can sell for many multiples of melt. Call (612) 802-9686 for a live quote.
Everything Twin Cities collectors and stackers need to know about selling gold coins for the highest possible payout
Gold coins occupy a unique place in precious-metals collecting. Some are pure bullion plays, valued strictly on their gold content. Others carry significant numismatic premium — the rarity of a date, the polish of a mint mark, the population of high-grade slabs. The difference between a fair offer and a great offer comes down to whether the buyer can tell the two apart.
When you search for someone who can responsibly buy gold coins in the Twin Cities, you deserve a buyer who's spent decades looking at them — not someone who weighs them like scrap. We routinely identify coins that pawn shops and chain jewelers had quoted at melt value, paying our clients hundreds or thousands more for the same exact coin.
Group coins by type — Eagles together, Krugerrands together, pre-1933 US gold separately. Leave slabbed coins in their holders. Never polish or clean a coin — it can permanently destroy numismatic value.
Call (612) 802-9686. We offer house calls anywhere in the Twin Cities, in-shop visits to our St. Louis Park location, or secure bank meets for larger collections.
Our GIA Certified Gemologist tests each coin in front of you — weight, diameter, XRF purity scan, hallmark verification, and grade assessment for collector pieces. You see every number behind the offer.
Accept our offer and you leave with cash in hand the same day. Larger collections can be settled by certified check or wire at your bank. Not happy? Walk away with zero obligation.
