Gold and Silver for 2026

Gold and Silver have been in the news a lot in the past few months.  Silver prices have risen from $35 per ounce to $120 per ounce and back down to a price range of $65 to $85 per ounce. I still continue to treasure hunt at garage sales, estate sales, Facebook, and Craig's List meet ups. I especially  like it when I get a call generated from this website or my Highlands Ranch Gold buyer Facebook page.  I have been using the same national wholesale refiner here in Denver Colorado to refine my purchase into coins and bars.  Here a few updates for 2026 that you might find interesting.

• • • • Pawnshops don't always buy silver and gold even at 50%  We Buy Gold shops are not always open

      • My refiner now only buys pure silver bullion bars and takes 4 weeks to settle and make payment

      • One ounce of gold is now $4500 to $5500 and can be difficult to buy or sell in person for cash

      • Safety and Security concerts now require a large security box at my bank branch

      • 90% silver coins and trading at a discount to spot and refiners are no longer buying them

      • Millions of 90% silver coins are being melted down and refined into 1000 ounce silver bars

      • A new generation of Silver Sackers are learning about precious metals 

      • Grandparents are now gifting coin collections and precious metals to younger family members

Now more than ever it is important to have a trusted broker, buyer, or contact to give you a fair price for your gold and silver.  I have helped a few older clients refine unwanted and broken gold jewelry they have found when cleaning out a recent family member, aunt, uncle, or parent's house after they passed away.  One client had four very small 10k gold rings that would not fit anyone in the family  (size 5 ). I purchased the old jewelry and gave the client 85% of the spot price of the gold (more than she was offered at the We Buy Gold buyer in the strip mall). At the time gold spot price was $3500 per ounce and they were shocked with how high my cash offer was!  The very next day, I purchased a grab bag of costume jewelry and a garage sale for $1 and a few weeks later I discovered one the of costume ear rings was real 14K gold and worth about $120.  It is very stressful for family members to search through your house and belongings. Estate planning can be easier by deciding what is costume jewelry and what is real gold and silver. Now is a great time to turn old and broken gold jewelry into silver or gold coins that are easily reconcilable for your family members.
