I know 28 of them equal an ounce. I did have an old WW scale and figured I might have 2 ounces. A 55 year old ladies watch, a couple of small gold necklaces and 6 gold dental crowns. Not all of it was gold, jewelry from my mom. Went in and I swear 15 min later it was tested, weighed and I walked out with a check that could pay for a cruise. Lovely people, patient, answered all my questions. AND FUN!!!

I had a great experience at Columbia Coins in Oregon. I stopped by specifically looking for World…read morePhilippine coins, and even though they primarily specialize in U.S. coins, they still had a surprisingly solid selection of world coins to choose from. John, the owner, was awesome to work with. We had a really good conversation about coins, and he made the whole experience enjoyable. He was not pushy at all and gave me plenty of time and space to make my decisions, which I really appreciated. I ended up picking up a few pieces and was very happy with the overall experience. Shops like this are what make coin collecting fun, knowledgeable, friendly, and no pressure. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Oregon. This is a must-stop for any collector, whether you're experienced or just getting into coins and bullion.

Beware of Oscar at portlandgoldbuyers.com. I placed my trust in him and his company on a $100k…read moreGold deal and it cost me over $3,100! The challenge for most individuals buying or selling precious metals is that they don't do it very often and they must negotiate with dealers who do it every day. I had 22 gold coins I needed to sell and ended up talking to Oscar at Portland Gold Buyers.com as my first stop. He convinced me that he was giving me a fair price on my coins and I , unfortunately, trusted him. I then went across the street to Affordable Jewelry and Precious Metals (394 SW Washington Avenue) and found out they would have paid me $3,100 more for my 22 gold coins. I then talked to Oscar and asked him to match his closest competitors price and he refused, so, my decision to trust Oscar cost me $3,100. I am not telling you to not use Oscar if you should choose to do so but what I am telling you is check for pricing somewhere else first (like AJPM across the street who actually shows their pricing on a live screen in their office). Based on my experience, if you don't have a good understanding of market price when you start negotiating with Oscar, you are going to lose money as he is focused on maximizing his return on your metals even if the pricing he offers is not reflective of the true value of your metals. Just a heads up and good luck with selling or buying your precious metals at the best price possible!

We were rushed. The consultant, Mark, didn't even sit down while he was "consulting," and we were…read moreworking off of someone else's desk (and the "someone else" was working there too.)
