Home / Gold buyer: areas we serve
Moab, Utah
Moab sellers get a neighbor's welcome and a written offer on their gold, silver and coins.
If you are in Moab, you may be wondering whether a Colorado gold buyer and coin dealer will buy from a Utah seller. We will, and gladly. A Utah driver license, or a valid photo ID from any other state, is all the paperwork it takes.
After that you are treated like every other customer of the Gold Guy. Your pieces are tested and weighed in front of you, the offer is written out with the math, and nobody leans on you to take it.
- A seller from Utah gets the same test and the same written offer as anyone else.
- A valid photo ID from any state is all we ask for.
- You choose what to sell and what to carry back home.

Why people from Moab choose the Gold Guy
The state line changes nothing
Gold is gold on either side of it. We use the same price of the day, the same test and the same arithmetic for a seller from Utah as for one from down the street.
One person who knows the trade
The Gold Guy looks over your items himself and makes the offer himself. Ask him what he is checking, and he will tell you why.
Old things get a proper look
Coins are gone through for collector value before any of them is treated as metal, and inherited jewelry is tested one piece at a time.
You are free to say no
The offer costs nothing to get and nothing to turn down. Whatever you decide to keep goes home to Utah with you.
What we buy from Moab and Grand County
We buy gold jewelry, class rings and wedding bands, scrap and dental gold, sterling flatware, silver dollars and older silver coins, bullion and coin collections.
Estates come in every size. When a parent's coin albums, a jewelry box and a drawer of silverware all have to be dealt with at once, we take the mixed lot one piece at a time. Sterling carries the word "sterling" or the number "925", and gold is read by its karat, where 14K is 58.3 percent gold.
Scrap gold has to be refined before it is sold again, which is why scrap is priced on refined value and may come in below the spot figure online. Any stones are priced on their own.
How selling works for a Moab seller
- Send us a note first. Tell us what you have and when you are thinking of coming. We reply with what to bring and what to expect.
- Come with your ID. A photo ID from Utah or any other state will do. Each piece is tested and weighed while you watch.
- Decide on the spot or later. The offer is handed to you in writing. Tell us yes, and within 24 hours we pay you by check, by ACH transfer or in store credit.
Your decision, on either side of the state line.
We would rather earn a customer than close a sale. When the number works for you, say yes and we pay you promptly. If it falls short, keep your things and take the written offer with you.
REAL MONEY, the Gold Guy's book, explains how gold and silver are bought and sold, and the seller quiz will help you sort out what is in the box before you come. Picking a dealer who tests in front of you and writes the math down is a wise choice from any state.

Frequently asked questions
Can someone from Moab, Utah sell gold to a Colorado dealer?
Yes. Utah sellers are welcome, and a valid government-issued photo ID from any state is enough.
Which coin dealer near Moab buys whole estates and mixed lots?
The Gold Guy buys coin collections, estates and mixed lots from Moab, Castle Valley and the rest of Grand County, Utah. Each lot is gone through piece by piece.
How do you test gold jewelry brought in from Moab?
The same way we test it for anyone, which is in front of you. A stamp inside the band is where we start, and then the metal itself is verified, because a stamp can be worn or wrong. Each karat is weighed apart from the others, and nothing that could mark a piece is done without your say-so.
Is there a waiting period on what I sell?
Colorado law requires a hold period on some items before a dealer melts or resells them, and it is the same for a Utah seller as for anyone else.
Tell us what you have.
A few lines will do. Tell us what it is, roughly how much of it there is, and any stamps or dates you can read, and we will write back with what to bring and what to expect. If you are still working out what is in the box, the seller quiz will sort it out in a few minutes.
