Buying Gold from Customers Throughout Chicago
Oakton Coins & Collectibles buys all forms of gold from customers throughout Chicago and the North Shore. Whether you are selling gold jewelry, gold coins, bullion, or scrap gold, our team provides straightforward evaluations based on current gold market prices.
Located just north of Chicago in Skokie, our shop is only a short drive from the city and is easily accessible from I-94 (Kennedy/Edens Expressway) and the CTA Yellow Line Oakton station.
Many customers find the short trip worthwhile because our overhead is lower than many downtown Chicago gold-buying locations, which allows us to remain competitive when purchasing gold.

Professional Gold Testing and Evaluation
Oakton Coins & Collectibles uses a modern X-ray fluorescence (XRF) gold analyzer to test precious metals quickly and accurately. This technology allows us to determine the exact metal composition of your items without damaging them.
During the evaluation process we will:
-
test the metal purity
-
weigh the gold
-
explain the current market value
-
make a straightforward offer based on the gold content
The best way to determine the value of your gold is to bring the items into the shop, where we can test each piece individually.
Types of Gold We Buy
We purchase nearly every form of gold, including:
-
gold jewelry (rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings)
-
broken or scrap gold
-
gold coins and bullion
-
gold class rings and gold watches
-
dental gold
-
gold cufflinks and accessories
-
designer and estate jewelry
Even items that are not pure gold can often be evaluated and purchased based on the amount of gold they contain.
