Tucson, AZ
Why Tucson Sellers Call Us First
Tucson's gold buyers pay 40–60% of melt value. YML Refinery pays 80–90%. On a $1,000 melt-value collection, that's $200–$500 more. On a quality diamond ring or a rare coin, it can be thousands. The drive is 2 hours. The math usually wins.
Tucson has an active precious metals market — established jewelry stores along Campbell Avenue and Oracle Road, coin shops near the University of Arizona, and numerous pawn shops. They all operate on the same model: convenient location, significant margin. YML Refinery's Youngtown location runs lean and passes the savings to sellers.

Tucson FAQ
Is the Drive Worth It?
It depends entirely on what you're selling. For a single small ring, probably not — call us first and we'll tell you honestly. For estate collections with multiple pieces of jewelry, a coin collection with rare dates, quality diamonds over 0.5ct, or luxury watches, the premium we pay over Tucson buyers typically dwarfs the drive time and gas. Call (623) 974-3772 and describe what you have. We'll give you a phone estimate so you can decide with real numbers.
Yes, regularly. Tucson has a strong numismatic community and some excellent local dealers — but for estates with significant rare coin content, sellers often find our buying prices more competitive on a case-by-case basis. We evaluate every coin individually: key-date Morgan dollars, pre-1933 gold, and certified coins assessed at current market value, not just melt.
Take I-10 North toward Phoenix. Stay on I-10 West past downtown Phoenix, then take the Grand Avenue exit heading northwest toward Youngtown. We're at 11115 Grand Ave #4 — about 118 miles, 1 hour 45 minutes in normal traffic. Google Maps to "YML Refinery Youngtown" is reliable.
We don't accept mailed items. We evaluate everything in person — it's the only way to do it honestly. Our XRF testing, scale weighing, and the opportunity for you to see every number requires both parties to be present. Call for a phone estimate, then decide if the drive makes sense for your specific items.
