1 /5 Salty Females: Just stopped by Zimmer Brothers Jewelry in Poughkeepsie, NY, and I was honestly baffled by the experience. I brought in a 1/10 oz Gold Eagle (MS-70) and a 1/4 oz Platinum Eagle (MS-70) for appraisal. The lady at the front was very kind and professional, but when she came back with the offer from the guy in the back—hidden away like some mystery appraiser—I couldn’t believe it. They offered $175 for the gold coin, which is low to begin with, and then a shocking $25 for the platinum coin. That’s just insane considering its actual melt value, let alone the grade. The front desk rep was sweet and understanding, but whoever appraised those coins clearly doesn’t know—or care—about real value.
