Rivanna Precious Metals is Central Virginia's full-service precious metals dealer. We buy gold, silver, platinum, coins, bullion, jewelry, and scrap — all at competitive rates based on live spot markets. Private, appointment-only evaluations at our Charlottesville office, just off Route 29.
A full-service precious metals dealer doesn't just buy one type of item — we buy whatever precious metal you bring through the door. That matters in Central Virginia, because the people who walk into our office at 1020 Carrington Place in Charlottesville come with all kinds of situations: an estate with mixed gold and silver, a collection of American Silver Eagles built up over twenty years, dental gold from a loved one, a scrap jar, a single wedding band, or a box of their grandfather's unsearched coins.
Being a true full-service dealer means the person across the table from you actually knows precious metals — how to identify them, how to test them, how to price them, and how to explain what everything is worth in plain English. That's what Rivanna Precious Metals brings to Charlottesville.
One appointment, all your items. You don't need to visit a coin shop for coins, a jeweler for jewelry, and a scrap buyer for broken pieces. Bring everything to one Charlottesville location.
A precious metals dealer is structured differently than a pawn shop. Our entire revenue model depends on buying gold and silver at fair prices and moving it to refiners or the wholesale market — so we can afford to pay closer to true melt value. Pawn shops earn on loans, so their buying prices are typically much lower.
Mail-in services look simple in the ad copy, but the moment your items ship, you've lost leverage. Lowball offers are common, and the dispute process is exhausting. Working with a local Charlottesville precious metals dealer means you keep control of your items the entire time, watch the evaluation happen in person, and leave with payment the same day.
