We buy gold in Miami at live spot pricing. Bullion bars, sovereign coins, wearable gold jewelry, scrap, and dental gold. Same-day cash for bullion transactions under $25,000, same-week wire for anything larger. On-site XRF testing in our Surfside showroom at 9573 Harding Avenue. Transparent pricing, no surprises, no pressure.
Most Miami gold buyers are pawn shops paying 60 to 70 percent of melt value, or refiners paying higher but only after you ship the metal and wait 10 to 14 days for assay. CJ William is the third option: competitive dealer pricing tied directly to live spot, the same day you walk in, with in-house XRF purity testing so there is no question what the metal actually is.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is your gold offer calculated?
Offers are based on live spot price at the moment of the transaction. For investment-grade bullion (PAMP, Valcambi, Royal Canadian Mint, US Mint) we typically pay 96 to 98 percent of spot. For wearable gold and recognizable coin we typically pay 92 to 95 percent of melt value after purity testing. For scrap and dental we pay refiner rates less a small handling margin.
Do you require ID to sell gold in Florida?
Yes. Florida law requires precious metals dealers to verify the seller’s identity and record the transaction. Please bring a government-issued ID (driver license, state ID, or passport).
What is the difference between selling to CJ William and selling to a refiner?
Refiners pay slightly higher on large lots but require you to ship the metal, wait 7 to 14 business days for assay, and absorb shipping insurance and refining fees. CJ William pays a competitive percentage of spot the same day for in-person transactions, or same-week wire for larger remote sellers, with no shipping risk or assay delay.
Do you report sales to the IRS?
Cash transactions exceeding the IRS Form 8300 threshold ($10,000 in a single transaction or related transactions) require federal reporting by the buyer. Wire payments above the threshold do not trigger Form 8300. We always provide a clear bill of sale and payment confirmation for your CPA, regardless of size or payment method.
Do you buy gold watches?
Yes. Solid gold watches from established makers are valued at the higher of the watch market value or the gold melt value. For Rolex specifically, see our dedicated Sell Your Rolex in Miami page for the full process.
What about gold-filled, gold-plated, or rolled gold items?
Gold-filled and gold-plated items have a small gold layer over base metal and do not have meaningful melt value. We will test and explain honestly. If a piece carries collector or maker value independent of its gold content, we will value it on that basis.
Can I sell gold to CJ William remotely?
Yes. Send clear photos including any hallmarks for an initial estimate, then ship via fully insured FedEx overnight using a label we provide for transactions over $5,000. Payment is wired the same day we receive and verify.
How do you test gold purity?
On-site XRF (X-ray fluorescence) spectrometry, which is non-destructive and accurate to within 0.5 percent for karat purity. For unusual or heavily worked pieces we may also use acid testing on an inconspicuous area, with the seller’s consent.
