Scottsdale, AZ
Estate Buyers Who
Handle It Properly
Estate precious metals require careful handling — not a quick lowball from a pawn shop looking for a fast deal. YML Refinery has been Scottsdale-area families' trusted estate precious metals buyer for 25 years. We evaluate every category individually: gold jewelry by karat and weight, coins numismatically where applicable, diamonds by the 4Cs, and luxury watches by secondary market value.
The difference between a proper estate evaluation and a pawn shop estimate can be substantial. An estate that a pawn shop values at $3,000 might actually be worth $5,000–$8,000 when coins are properly graded, diamonds evaluated by cut and quality, and luxury watches assessed at current market prices.
For Scottsdale estates within driving distance, we'll come to you for large collections. For medium and small estates, our Youngtown shop — 30 miles from Scottsdale — is where we can take proper time with every piece.
- Full estate evaluation: gold, silver, coins, diamonds, and luxury watches
- Numismatic assessment for coin collections — key dates and rare pieces identified
- Luxury watches: Rolex, Omega, Patek, and others assessed at secondary market value
- House calls available for large Scottsdale estates — call (623) 974-3772 to arrange

Estate Buyer FAQ
Common Questions Answered
We evaluate every precious metals category in the estate: gold jewelry (tested for karat, weighed), silver (flatware, jewelry, coins), coin collections (numismatic evaluation for rare dates, spot-based pricing for common silver/gold), diamonds (4C evaluation), and luxury watches (secondary market assessment). Each category is priced separately and transparently.
Yes, for larger estates in the Scottsdale area and throughout the greater Phoenix metro. If bringing the collection to our Youngtown shop isn't practical, call (623) 974-3772 and we'll arrange a visit. There's no charge for estate evaluations.
A small estate (box of jewelry, small coin collection) takes 30–60 minutes in our shop. Larger estates — multiple categories, coin collections, watches — may take 2–3 hours. For the biggest estates, we schedule a dedicated session. Call ahead to book appropriate time for a large collection.
Yes. Sterling silver flatware (92.5% silver) is bought by weight at spot-based rates. Silverplate (silver coating over base metal) has little precious metals value but we'll test everything to confirm. Complete sets in original cases often sell at or above melt due to collector interest — we assess both.
