Ohio Gold & Coins has a huge variety of gold and silver for great gifts and great investments
By Mary Malik
Nothing sparkles quite like gold and silver, especially during the holiday season. Whether it’s in the form of jewelry, coins, bars or bullion, gold and silver are great gifts and great investments.
Ohio Gold & Coins Owner Clint Reider offers all the above while also buying old, broken and unwanted gold and sterling silver jewelry, coins, sterling silver flatware, class rings, pins, silver bullion and gold bars—even gold teeth. Bring in what you have and walk out with cash. It’s really that simple, and Clint guarantees some of the best prices in Ohio.
“People come in for all kinds of reasons,” Clint says. “Many are simply curious about the process and once they find out how easy and lucrative it is, not to mention all of the one-of-a-kind and vintage jewelry we have at spectacular prices, they keep coming back.”
Clint wants people to know that Ohio Gold & Coins is the place to go, whether you’re selling old jewelry or sterling silver that’s been sitting in a drawer and the kids don’t want it, you’re a serious coin collector, or you’re looking to invest in gold and silver in these uncertain economic times.
“Instead of holding on to inherited items or relationship jewelry, why not trade these keepsakes in so they can be enjoyed by others?” he notes.
“There’s nothing quite like holding actual gold bullion or coins,” Clint says. “Many people invest in gold and silver stocks, but history has shown us that the piece of paper you have representing your stock investment can ultimately be worthless if the market would crash. That physical gold and silver will actually increase in value.”
Precious metals fluctuate, but gold and silver both have historically greatly increased in value. Clint makes the comparison that in 1996, for instance, gold’s value was at an average of $367 per ounce. Today, that ounce is worth, on average, $2,000. If you had put $367 in a safe in 1996, today you would have $367. An ounce of gold in that safe is now worth $2,000.
“Even better if you’ve been wearing it around your neck or on your wrist, enjoyed it for years, maybe passed it down to your children or grandchildren, and it’s been increasing in value over time,” Clint says.
People often aren’t sure if what they have is even real. Bring it in and Clint will evaluate it and give you a price. It couldn’t be easier and it’s always your decision. There’s never pressure to sell.
“I love the holidays,” Clint says. “People come in looking for extra cash for gifts, to start the next generation on coin collecting, or to pick out a special piece of jewelry. There are so many ways you can go here in terms of gifts.”
Don’t think you have to spend a lot. Bullion comes in many denominations and really makes fun, and smart, stocking stuffers for all ages. Coins are a great way to get kids interested in history along with teaching them the importance of saving and investing.
Clint knows just how fun it is, and you can tell as soon as you walk in the shop. He’s ready to greet you with a smile and is eager to brighten your day with some extra cash or a special piece of jewelry. And if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, Clint can find it, or make it, for you.
“I work with a jewelry design company, and we can custom make anything for much less than you’ll find at the jewelry stores,” Clint says. “Stop in and see how we can make your holidays sparkle.”
