Selling Gold in Hickory, NC? Meet The Gold King
Cash for gold, silver, coins, bullion, collections, and new or broken jewelry — one counter at 1750 Startown Road. Walk in Monday–Saturday. Free evaluation. Paid the same day if you accept.
Cash for Gold, Silver, Coins, and Jewelry.
Hickory’s cash-for-gold search results are crowded with pawn counters. A pawn shop lends against your gold and holds it. Gold King purchases it. No interest. No ticket. No waiting to “get it back.” If you accept the number, you leave with cash. If you do not, you leave with the gold. Side-by-side: pawn shop, jewelry store, or gold buyer.
- One address you can visit — 1750 Startown Road, not a hotel-ballroom gold buyer and not a mail-in kit.
- Mixed lots are the point — broken chains, coin jars, jewelry boxes, and bullion in the same bag.
- Melt is the floor, not always the ceiling — coins, designer jewelry, and watches can pay above scrap when the extra is real.
- 4.9 stars from 765 Google reviews — local people comparing this counter to the other options in Catawba County.

Single item or an entire collection?
All collection sizes are welcome. Some Hickory sellers walk in with a single graded coin. Some walk in with a coffee can, a jewelry box from a parent’s closet, or a flatware chest. We buy collections big or small — albums, bags, boxes, and full estates from $100 to $100,000+.
Do not pick out “the keepers” at the kitchen table unless you know dates, karat stamps, and designer marks. Bring the unsorted lot. We separate plated from precious metal and scrap from collectible at the counter. Large lots and executors: see estate buying.

Cash for Gold Near Hickory
Gold King is not a Charlotte chain with a Hickory sticker. The counter is at 1750 Startown Road. People still drive in from Newton, Conover, Lenoir, Morganton, Statesville, Maiden, Hildebran, Granite Falls, and Lincolnton because a specialist buyer is worth the trip — especially with a mixed lot you do not want priced as scrap.
House calls for large estates stay inside Western North Carolina. If you are typing “cash for gold near me,” check the map: if you can reach Startown Road Monday–Saturday, you can walk in.
Walk In, Watch the Test, Leave Paid
Standard lots walk in. Large estates call first. Either way, the offer is optional.
Walk in with the lot
No appointment for a bag, box, or handful of gold. Call first for a closet full of estate pieces or a house call.
See the evaluation
Karat, weight, authenticity, and any extra coin or designer value — explained at the counter while you watch.
Take cash or walk
Accept and leave paid the same day. Decline and keep every item. There is no pawn ticket either way.

Where do I sell gold in Hickory, NC?
Gold King at 1750 Startown Road. Walk in Monday–Saturday, 9AM–6PM. We buy gold, silver, coins, bullion, jewelry, and collections at one counter — not a pawn loan.
I searched “cash for gold near me.” Are you actually nearby?
If you can reach Startown Road in Hickory, yes. Sellers also drive from Newton, Conover, Lenoir, Morganton, and Statesville. We have one storefront, not a traveling hotel buyer.
Do I need an appointment?
Not for a bag, box, or handful of pieces. Call first for a full estate, a house call, or several luxury watches.
Is Gold King a pawn shop?
No. Pawn shops lend against items and hold them. We buy gold and related lots outright. Accept the offer and leave with cash, or keep everything.
What should I bring to sell?
The items unsorted, and photo ID if you plan to complete a sale. Leave polish, glue, and home “repairs” for later — they rarely help the number.
Do you buy collections, or only one piece at a time?
Collections are welcome: coin albums, jewelry boxes, junk-silver bags, bullion lots, and full estates. Unsorted is better than cherry-picking at home.
