I had many items - diamond rings, gold bands, necklaces, pocket watches, used settings,etc. probably 15 items in all from my deceased family. Based on Yelp reviews I called Valley Goldmine first and received a quick callback from Mary. Mary was able to see me on short notice the same day - actually just an hour + later. I have limited jewelry knowledge and was very hesitant about the experience. Mary immediately put me at ease and completely sorted all the items carefully by category, fully explained EVERYTHING about the process and walked me thru it piece-by-piece. Testing, weighing, cleaning, calculating and giving all the options for what was in MY best interest - even on items Mary was not buying herself. I had ample time to take notes on all pieces with her comments and was even referred to others to help with some items. I really felt I had a friend helping me to do whatever I wanted with no pressure or BS. Not only did I get a GREAT price on the many items Mary WAS interested in - the feedback on how best to proceed with some remaining items was invaluable. I have 35+ years experience in sales myself and I have NEVER had a better sales transaction than with Mary. A great person and professional buyer to boot. I rate Mary 10 stars......Thanks Mary....I feel I now have a "friend in the business" to take future business to and confidently refer others to Mary looking for a fair and honest Buyer. WOW AAA+++ read more

I had the opportunity to work with Mary @ Valley Gold Mine on a once in a lifetime coin find. While searching through a suitcase of raw, circulated Morgan Silver Dollars with one of her customers, one date caught her eye. Soon I received a text from Mary asking, "the 1893-S Morgan is a better date, right?" I replied, "uh yea, it's the key date!" I let her know that this date/mintmark is commonly counterfeited or more often altered (fraudsters will add an "S" to an 1893 Philadelphia coin, which has no mintmark), so I needed to see the piece in person to verify it exhibited authentic diagnostics. Upon viewing the coin, I was shocked to learn that it was authentic. Mary and I determined that we would send this rarity into PCGS, a top 3rd Party Grading Service, to get it professionally graded and slabbed. The coin came back Very Fine 35 (VF35), giving it a retail value of about $5,000. This was such a cool find. Something that almost never happens. The rare coins are rare for a reason - you don't find them everywhere. The moral of the story though is that Mary showed unquestionable integrity with her customer. Where many dealers would have attempted to rip the customer off (buying this key date as a common $25 coin), she notified the customer of the find immediately and then worked diligently to maximize the customer's value. Strong ethics; an honest business person. Bob DeLean DeLean Numismatics read more

Had a great experience selling some gold and silver i had here. Mary explained in detail to me how they come up with their offer. She also showed us each test they use to verify the quality If my pieces. And more importantly she preformed each test directly in front of me. Not in a back room or behind a privacy devider. They have an office suit and it's just you, the buyer, and a office desk. No gimmicks or glam to try to distract your attention from your valuables you have entrusted them with, only what's necessary to be sure neither the seller or the buyer gets ripped off. So when she gave me her offer i felt more than comfortable with taking it without having to haggle over like i have at other places. She showed me It's really a pretty cut throat deal so if you are able to haggle with a buyer you know they were low balling you from the get go. Which should make you question everything they have done. Skip the b. S. and just go to valley goldmine. read more

Needed to sell some old scrap gold jewelry and found Valley Goldmine via Google. Sent an email to set up an appointment and Mary answer very quickly and helped me set up a time after I returned from a week long trip. Mary called the night before the appointment to make sure I would still be able to make it. They day of I went to the Scottsdale location and was assisted by Michael who was very friendly and helpful. I received $80 for a broken necklace and a ring; which was the best offer I had. I also had a set of rings my roommate asked me to bring along to get the value of the gold checked. Michael was willing to assess the rings and wrote down the values and gave me an extra business card for my roommate if she decided to sell. Overall a great experience and I will use them again if I have anything else to sell. read more

I brought my old jewelry to Valley Goldmine the other day and met with Michael. He was very professional and explained exactly what he was doing as he sorted out my gold and weighed the different items. I was floored when he advised me to try to sell a couple of things on ebay or craigslist as he thought I would get more than the gold value that way. He even told me what 100% gold value was for these items so I would know how to price these things. What company does that? I had gone to a jeweler first so thought I knew what to expect but was surprised when they paid me $200 more than the other guy, even though I kept a few items and without having to haggle. If you want to be treated fairly, see Valley Goldmine. read more

I have been using valley goldmine since 2010 and they have the best prices in town. First time I met with Mike, he was cool and no pressure added he gave me a total on bulk gold I had collected over the years. I drove few miles down in Chandler to London gold & some other independent jewler near Chandler Blvd. Both of them gave me lower prices than Valley. I drove back with Mike at Chandler location & completed our transaction. Ever since then, I don't hesitate, i know they have the best prices to offer. Now I call Mary and they are so professional and flexible with their clients. My cash gold place! ;) read more

My son and I took our jewelry and silver to Valley Goldmine (Ray & Cooper location) last week. I was floored by how much my jewelry and silver was worth. I thought to myself, if they are offering so much there might be someone else who would offer more. I was wrong after two days I went back and sold everything to Valley Goldmine. Michael was professional, courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable He answered all my questions, and I had lots of questions!!! I will definitely refer them to my friends and family. I might just have a Gold Party soon!. read more

I met with Mike at Valley Goldmine in Scottsdale. He was very friendly . I would ABSOLUTELY say it was a POSITIVE experience. I made a couple other calls , but when I spoke with Mary she was also very friendly and explained the terms that were used for weighing jewelry. Less than 2 hours later I got $665 for some old chains, bracelet and earrings. I would highly recommend Valley Goldmine to all my friends, family or anyone that I heard is looking to do the same. Thank You Valley Goldmine !! read more

Pleasure doing business with Mary and Michael at Valley Goldmine. Mary returned my call and was able to set up a appointment with Michael at their Chandler location the following day. Michael was very honest and was able to provide me with a itemized list for buying my jewelry, and the offer higher than other places I had gotten estimates at. I would use them again in the future. read more

We are trying to assist family with estate issues. After one referral to a gold dealer in Phoenix and a very low offered price, I contacted Mary. It was a pleasure to meet her as well as do business with her. She made the transaction easy and comfortable. I am SO GLAD I did not go with the first referral we received..difference of 6 times the value on this transaction. read more

I had sold some old gold jewelry to Valley Goldmine years ago (Mike) and it was completely stress free and easy; the check was nice too. Just this month I made an appointment with Mary who was just as great! I recommend Valley Goldmine to any of my family and friends looking to sell unwanted, old, or broken jewelry. They buy silver, gold and platinum as well as coins. read more

My story starts in February, when I first contacted about a ring. I told him that I wouldn't be purchasing until at least August, and he was more than willing to accommodate me via email from across the country. We wrote tens of emails back and forth deciding on engagement ring. After three months of not emailing.I was finally able to meet Garry at valley golden. read more

I used Valley Goldmine to sell some jewelry that I hadn't worn in years. Michael met me at the Chandler location. He was on time and professional. I appreciated his honesty when dealing with me and his offer was better that the other places that I had recieved quotes. I would call Valley Goldmine first next time and will recommend them to friends. read more

You really can't go wrong doing business with her and I plan to do more with her in the future. Thanks Mary!! read more
