Sell Your Gold and Silver in Pass Christian, Mississippi
Pass Christian has one of the highest concentrations of inherited jewelry, estate silver, and old coin collections on the Gulf Coast — and there’s a reason for that history. This is a town of antebellum-era estates and generations-old family homes along Scenic Drive, many of them rebuilt piece by piece after Hurricane Katrina destroyed all but a handful of the city’s roughly 8,000 homes in 2005. When a house gets rebuilt or a family sorts through what survived, jewelry boxes, flatware chests, and coin jars tend to resurface. We see it often: sterling silver sets salvaged from a grandmother’s home, gold jewelry recovered during a renovation, coin collections passed down through three or four generations of a Pass Christian family.
Because Pass Christian is about 90 miles east of our downtown New Orleans office — roughly 90 minutes by car along I-10 and Highway 90 — most Pass Christian clients use us as Louisiana’s best mobile silver and gold buyer. We come to you: your home, your bank’s safe deposit room, or another location you choose, and we evaluate your items in person using live spot pricing on gold and silver, the same day. If you’d rather make the drive to New Orleans yourself, our office is open by appointment at 147 Carondelet St. — see directions and parking or everything we buy before you visit.
What We Buy From Pass Christian Sellers
We regularly buy from Pass Christian residents and estates:
- Gold and silver jewelry, including pieces damaged in storms or house fires that most jewelers won’t touch
- Sterling silver flatware, tea sets, and hollowware — common in Gulf Coast estate collections
- U.S. and foreign gold and silver coins, including inherited collections with no paperwork
- Estate lots being settled after a death or a home sale, often under time pressure from a closing date
Why Pass Christian Families Choose a Mobile Appointment
A lot of what we buy in Pass Christian comes out of situations where driving to New Orleans isn’t practical — an elderly parent’s estate being closed out, a family working against a real estate closing timeline, or simply a large collection that’s easier to evaluate at the kitchen table than to transport. Our mobile service exists for exactly this. We’re affiliated with the American Numismatic Association, the CDN Exchange, and the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), so whether it’s a box of loose jewelry or a serious coin collection, you’re getting an evaluation from someone who actually knows what they’re looking at — not a guess based on weight alone. If you’re settling a family estate specifically, our guide on what to do with inherited gold and silver walks through what to check before you sell anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel to Pass Christian, or do I have to come to New Orleans?
Both are options. Most Pass Christian sellers schedule an in-home mobile appointment since we’re about 90 minutes away, but you’re welcome to bring items to our New Orleans office by appointment if that’s more convenient for you.
I have silver that was damaged in a storm or fire. Is it still worth anything?
Often, yes. Sterling silver’s value is driven mostly by its silver content and weight, not its condition, so damaged or tarnished pieces still carry real value. Bring or show us what you have and we’ll evaluate it honestly.
My family has owned this property since before Katrina — how do I know what our old coins are actually worth?
Coin values depend on more than the metal — rarity, condition, and mint marks all matter. As ANA and NGC-affiliated buyers, we evaluate coins properly rather than paying scrap-only prices for pieces that may be worth more.
Do you buy from estates, or only from individual sellers?
We regularly work with families and executors settling an estate, including situations with a closing deadline. We can often schedule same-week appointments when timing matters.
What should I bring to a mobile appointment?
Just the items themselves and a photo ID. If you have any documentation — appraisals, purchase receipts, or coin certifications — bring those too, though they aren’t required for us to make an offer.
