From a Trusted Dentist to Your Precious Metals Expert

Trust isn't built overnight. It's earned through years of consistent, respectful service. Before founding North Shore Precious Metals, Jim spent his career as a dentist in downtown Chicago, where he learned that the most valuable asset he had was his clients' confidence in his integrity.

He knows your valuables are more than just metal - they’re part of your family's story. That’s why he created a different kind of precious metals experience, one built on transparency where the relationship is valued more than any single transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know I'm getting a fair price?

Your offer is based on three key factors: the purity of the metal (karat), its weight, and the live market price at the moment of your appointment. We test and weigh everything right in front of you and explain the process, so you can feel 100% confident in your offer.
