The answer is simple..when you place your gold coins or other precious metals in the hands of Cash for gold stores they want to buy everything at low prices to sell to refinery's. Not all cash for gold stores are greedy some just don't have the years of experience that we do. I once paid a man $5,000 just for one coin when the cash for gold store offered a few hundred. I am not a cash for gold store I am a past grader for PCGS with 38 years experience grading your gold coins.
