Coin Collections & Bullion Buying for World Golf Village
A lot of serious collections live around World Golf Village, and plenty of them eventually cross our counter. From International Golf Parkway it is a short run into downtown St. Augustine, where coins are evaluated for collector value — never just melt — bullion is priced straight off live spot, and jewelry is tested in front of you.
What we buy.
Jewelry — gold, platinum, silver, diamonds
- Gold, platinum, and silver jewelry in any condition — worn daily, broken, bent, mismatched, or missing stones
- Designer and signed pieces — Cartier, Tiffany & Co., David Yurman and others — checked for collector value before anything is priced as metal
- Diamonds, set or loose, with or without a certificate — graded on cut, color, clarity, and carat
- Estate and inherited jewelry — bring the whole box; separating real from plate and stones from paste is our job, not yours
Jewelry from a downsized home is priced as pieces, not scrap — bring the box. Call (904) 500-2646 for a ballpark first.
Coins — US, world, and certified
- US type coins and key dates — Morgan and Peace dollars, Walking Liberty halves, Mercury dimes, Indian and wheat cents, and the better dates in every series
- PCGS and NGC certified coins, graded sets, proof and mint sets, and commemoratives
- 90% junk silver by the roll, the bag, or the coffee can — priced off live silver
- World coins, Spanish colonial and shipwreck pieces, and whole collections or inherited albums — evaluated coin by coin, never dumped on the scale
A collection that took decades to build gets a numismatic evaluation here, coin by coin. Call (904) 500-2646 and we will set aside the time.
Bullion — coins, bars, and rounds
- American Gold and Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, and Gold Buffalos
- Bars and rounds from any mint, one gram to one kilo — sovereign and generic both priced off live spot, with the difference explained
- Monster boxes, tubes, and stacks built over years — call ahead for volume and the time and the payment are ready when you arrive
- Platinum and palladium coins and bars
Eagles, Maples, and bars sell off live spot in front of you. For a large stack, call (904) 500-2646 and the payment is ready when you arrive.

Where World Golf Village collections go
From World Golf Village take International Golf Parkway to I-95 south, get off at Exit 318 (SR-16), follow SR-16 east to US-1 and turn south — or take SR-16 the whole way. Fifteen to twenty minutes to 112 N Ponce de Leon Blvd, free parking on site.
The neighborhoods around the Parkway are full of retirees who collected seriously, and what reaches us reflects it: Morgan and Peace dollar sets, PCGS and NGC slabs, proof sets by the decade, 90% silver by the bag, and bullion stacked over years. Downsizing a lifetime of collecting is normal business here, and we go through it properly.
The reason to bring it to us is the evaluation itself: a dealer who grades coins for a living, seven days a week, pricing key dates and better grades off the collector market instead of a counter that weighs the whole album as silver. Call first — we will give you a ballpark by phone or by text with photos and set aside time for the collection.
Weighed, tested, paid — no surprises.
- Weighed and XRF-testedA certified scale and XRF analysis at the counter — we are transparent about what we find and will answer any questions about your items.
- An offer off the live spot boardPriced from the same live spot chart on our prices page, or the collector market — whichever is worth more to you.
- Paid the same dayAccept and you are paid on the spot. Decline and everything goes back in your pocket — no pressure, no fee.
How the offer is built
Your items go on a certified scale and under the XRF analyzer in front of you, so karat and purity are read from the metal itself, not from a stamp.
The offer comes off the live spot board at the moment you sell — the same board on our prices page — and when a coin, a signed piece, or a watch carries a collector premium, that premium is priced in on top of the metal.
Competing quotes are welcome. Get one elsewhere if you like, then make us your last stop — we would rather sharpen a number than watch you sell somewhere else.
What we sell.
The same counter sells: gold and silver bullion at live spot — Eagles, Maple Leafs, bars, and rounds — plus certified coins, Goldbacks, pre-owned jewelry and watches, and authenticated designer goods.
Browse the showroom at 112 N Ponce de Leon Blvd or shop online at callthevault.com. Anything you sell us can go straight toward something from the showcases in the same visit.
About 15 to 20 minutes via International Golf Parkway
Take International Golf Parkway to I-95 south, exit at 318 (SR-16), and follow SR-16 east to US-1 south into downtown St. Augustine — fifteen to twenty minutes to our counter at 112 N Ponce de Leon Blvd, free parking on site. For a collection that took decades to build, that short drive buys a real numismatic evaluation instead of a bulk melt quote.

Asked before the drive.
Do you actually evaluate coins, or just weigh them?
We evaluate them. Dates, mint marks, grades, and varieties all matter, and a coin worth more to collectors than to the furnace is priced accordingly. Bring the whole album and we will tell you which coins carry a premium.
Is selling bullion locally better than shipping it to an online dealer?
Shipping means insurance, delays, and trusting a price you cannot question. At the counter your bullion is verified against live spot, your questions get direct answers, and payment is same-day — no package to track, no waiting on a check.
Can I call before I drive over from World Golf Village?
Please do — (904) 500-2646, or text photos to the same number. Describe what you have and we will tell you what to bring, roughly what to expect, and whether a larger collection deserves time set aside or an in-home visit.
What happens if I decide not to sell?
Then everything goes home with you, along with a better idea of what you own. There is never a fee for the evaluation and never any pressure at the counter.
Is The Vault a pawn shop?
No. We are a registered Florida secondhand dealer, not a pawnbroker. We buy your items outright and pay you the same day — there are no loans, no interest, and nothing to buy back.
Do you buy broken or damaged gold?
Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, and pieces missing stones all sell for their metal — weighed, XRF-tested, and priced off live spot. Dental gold too. Nothing needs repairing or cleaning first.
Do I need an appointment to sell from World Golf Village?
No — walk in. The counter is open seven days a week: Monday to Friday 9–6, Saturday 10–4, Sunday 11–4. Only large collections or estates need a call ahead so we can set aside the time, and for the largest we come to you.
What ID do I need to sell?
A valid government-issued photo ID — driver license, state ID, passport, or military ID. Florida law requires us to record it for every precious-metal purchase, even for a single ring. Certificates, boxes, and receipts help but are never required.
A collection is more than its melt weight
Key dates, better grades, and scarce series get priced on the collector market, not the scale. If you are downsizing a lifetime of collecting, we will go through it properly.
