Jan. 19/26 Update to Silver Purchases

Site icon for Guardian Gold

We are Buying ONLY SELECT Silver Until Further Notice

January 19, 2026

As of today we are now purchasing:

  • All silver bullion from LBMA certified makers.
  • 50 Ounce and smaller bullion from non-LBMA makers.

Our silver refining partners in Canada have temporarily frozen their payment mechanisms. This is a global issue in response to current market stressors. Elevated lease rates on silver have now made it impossible for Guardian to settle transactions under normal terms.

At this time we cannot purchase these silver products:

  • Jewellery
  • Silver flatware, tableware, and collectible items
  • Any Coinage
  • Non-LBMA certified makers bullion larger than 50 oz

These are temporary measures. Unfortunately, we cannot predict when circumstances will change, however, we will review this policy as conditions stabilize. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

Option 1: Visit Our Toronto Office

The quickest way to sell your gold is by visiting our office in Toronto.

When you arrive, one of our experienced team members will guide you through the entire process. We will evaluate your items, explain how they are valued, and answer any questions you may have before completing your transaction.

Our goal is to make every visit professional, transparent, and efficient.

Selling your gold in person allows you to:

  • Receive an immediate evaluation
  • Ask questions throughout the process
  • Accept your offer on the spot
  • Receive payment as soon as your transaction is complete

Whether you’re selling one ring or several kilograms of precious metals, every customer receives the same level of service and attention.


Option 2: Sell Your Gold by Mail

Can’t make it to our office?

Guardian Gold also accepts gold through our secure mail-in service. (*Note, you must first have an account created with us before you can ship gold to our office.)

This option is ideal for customers across Canada who want access to competitive pricing without travelling to Toronto.

We recommend using an insured and trackable shipping service so your package is protected throughout transit. Once your shipment arrives, our team carefully documents and evaluates its contents before contacting you with a valuation.

Your items remain secure throughout the process, giving you peace of mind from shipment to settlement. Please call our staff for information regarding shipping.


How Your Gold Is Evaluated

Transparency is one of our highest priorities.

After receiving your gold, we begin by identifying and sorting the material before performing professional purity testing using our XRF analyser.

Once the purity has been verified, your gold is weighed on certified precision scales and valued using the current live market price.

For purchased material, we melt the gold and perform a final assay to verify the combined purity of the lot. This process eliminates uncertainty caused by plated items, filled jewellery, or mixed alloys, ensuring every transaction is based on the actual precious metal content.

Because our valuations are based on live market pricing and professional testing methods, you can be confident that your offer reflects the true value of your gold.
