Sell Gold Coins and Bullion in Kelowna
Ready to sell gold coins or bullion in Kelowna? Okanagan Gold and Silver has been the Okanagan Valley’s authorized and licensed bullion buyer since 2005. We buy Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, Sovereigns, Eagles, recognised mint bars, generic rounds and pre-1967 Canadian silver, priced from the live spot price with the premium explained openly. Evaluations are free, there is no obligation, and payment is cash the same day.
Kelowna’s Trusted Coin and Bullion Buyers Since 2005
We are an authorized and licensed precious-metals buyer, not a pawn shop, and bullion is our daily trade rather than a sideline. Offers are anchored to the live spot price at the moment you are standing at the counter, with the premium for recognised product priced on top rather than quietly kept.
That openness is the practical difference between a specialist and a mall kiosk or a travelling hotel buying event, where a Maple Leaf and a scrap chain can end up in the same pile. Since 2005 we have bought single coins, inherited collections and full estate holdings from clients in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton, and we are owned and operated by Northwest Diamond and Gold. If you are still deciding where to sell gold in Kelowna, it is worth knowing how differently each type of buyer treats the same coin.
What Coins and Bullion We Buy
There is no minimum quantity. One coin is welcome, and so is a collection nobody has catalogued in thirty years.
- Canadian Gold and Silver Maple Leafs in all sizes, including fractional gold
- South African Krugerrands, British Sovereigns and American Gold and Silver Eagles
- Bars from recognised mints such as the Royal Canadian Mint and PAMP Suisse
- Bars still sealed in their assay cards, which are worth more sealed than opened
- Generic rounds, privately minted bars and hand-poured silver
- Junk silver, including pre-1967 Canadian dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars
- Numismatic and collector coins, graded or raw
- Platinum coins and bars, and sterling silver commemorative issues
Bring the original packaging, tubes, capsules and any paperwork if you have kept them. Product that can be identified instantly is worth more than product that has to be tested from scratch, and that is reflected in what we can pay.
How Much Are Your Coins and Bullion Worth?
Bullion is priced from the live spot price, converted from troy ounces. One troy ounce is 31.1 grams, heavier than the 28.3 gram ounce used for everyday goods, and that difference alone catches people out. A one ounce Gold Maple Leaf contains a full troy ounce of pure gold, while a Krugerrand contains a troy ounce of gold inside a slightly heavier 22 karat coin.
Above spot sits the premium. Widely recognised product from a major mint carries a stronger premium than an unmarked or unfamiliar bar, because the next buyer can identify it on sight and does not have to pay to verify it. That is why a sealed PAMP bar in its assay card or a Royal Canadian Mint Maple Leaf tends to bring more than a generic poured bar of the same weight. Sealed product should stay sealed, since opening it gives away part of that advantage.
Some coins are worth more than their metal. Date, mint mark, grade and condition can lift a coin well above its bullion value, and selling a scarce coin for melt is a loss that cannot be undone. We check both values on every piece and offer against whichever is higher. If you want the arithmetic behind a scrap offer as well, we explain how much gold buyers in Kelowna pay and what sits behind the number.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Coins and Bullion
Do you buy pre-1967 Canadian silver coins?
Yes. Canadian dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars struck before 1967 contain 80 percent silver, and they are bought on silver content by weight. Coins from 1967 and 1968 vary, so they are checked by date. Anything with a scarce date, mint mark or unusually good condition is set aside and looked at as a collector coin first. The same approach applies to flatware and bars when you sell silver in Kelowna.
Should I open sealed bars or assay cards first?
No, leave them sealed. A sealed assay card confirms the weight and purity of the bar and lets the next buyer accept it without testing, and that certainty is worth money. Breaking the seal removes part of the premium. The same is true of sealed mint tubes. We can evaluate sealed product without opening it.
How do you know a coin or bar is genuine?
Recognised product is checked against its published weight, diameter and thickness and tested without damaging it, while mint marks, edge detail and finish are compared against the genuine article. Unmarked or unfamiliar bars take longer to verify, which is part of why they carry a smaller premium. If something cannot be verified, we will tell you rather than discount it silently.
What if my coins are worth more to a collector than for the metal?
Then we should both know that before anything changes hands. Grade, date, mint mark and condition can put a coin far above its bullion value, and a scarce coin sold for melt cannot be recovered. Every coin is checked both ways, and the offer is made against the higher of the two figures.
