Serving the North Shore, IL and surrounding areas

We Buy Gold, Silver, and Platinum in Nearly Any Form
If you're unsure what you have, that's what we're here for. We evaluate everything from fine jewelry and coins to broken chains and old silverware.
At North Shore Precious Metals, we do things differently.
Other Online Buyers
You ship your valuables into the void with no transparency, risking lost items and waiting weeks for a check.
Local Jewelers
Their main business is reselling finished pieces, not giving you the best price for the raw metal itself.
Jewelry & Pawn Shops
Often give lowball offers in high-pressure environments, making you feel rushed and undervalued.
Schedule Your Private Meeting
You choose the time and place that works for you. No waiting in line and no walk-ins means your appointment is completely confidential.
A Transparent Evaluation
Jim tests and weighs every item right in front of you, using a spectrometer for accuracy and explaining what he's doing every step of the way.
Receive Your Fair Offer
Based on the day's live market prices, you'll receive a competitive, no-pressure offer. You can accept it or take time to think; the choice is always yours.
Get Paid Immediately
Once you accept the offer, Jim writes you a check on the spot. No delays, no waiting, no hassle.
Trust isn't built overnight. Before founding North Shore Precious Metals, Jim spent his career as a dentist where he learned that the most valuable asset is his clients' confidence in his integrity.
He knows your gold and silver 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 always valued more than the transaction.
