7 city listings shown
Dartmouth
1 dealer
Dartmouth sits across the harbour from Halifax, where the dealers above are based. We left out two Dartmouth pawn shops that turned up in searches.
No rating could be confirmed on a third-party page we could read.
EditorWe found it only on a directory listing, which links a Facebook page and shows no hours or description. We could not confirm whether it buys gold or silver bullion. Call first.
Halifax
4 dealers
Kitco's local directory also lists Halifax Gold and Ash Jewelry, but we could not confirm what either buys or sells, so they are left out.
National chain whose Halifax store buys and sells gold, silver and platinum bullion as an authorized Royal Canadian Mint dealer, evaluates jewellery in front of you, and has GIA diamond buyers on staff.
No rating could be confirmed on a third-party page we could read.
EditorThe main entrance is at the back of the building through the black gate, and the front buzzer does not admit visitors. Open Monday to Friday 10 to 6 and Saturday 10 to 5.

EditorBedford is part of the Halifax Regional Municipality. The site says coin set evaluations need no appointment. It also has a Riverview, New Brunswick store that supplies online orders. Scrap gold and silver buying is handled by a separate site, and secure storage accounts are linked but not described. No regular hours are posted.
Maritime jeweller whose jewellery exchange buys gold jewellery, bars, bullion and broken gold in any condition, plus platinum, luxury watches and estate jewellery.
Deals in
buys gold, buys platinum/palladium
Fees
No fees or commissions are disclosed. Offers follow an appraisal, and sellers can take payment or choose store credit that adds 15% of the gold's value.
No rating could be confirmed on a third-party page we could read.
EditorThe terms above come from the company's exchange page for another city, since its Halifax pages did not load. Silver and coins are not mentioned there, and the company's own stated years in business are inconsistent. Its site gives the Halifax showroom address and phone but no hours.
No rating could be confirmed on a third-party page we could read.
EditorIt has no website that we could find, so what it buys and sells is unconfirmed. The Mint lists an address and phone and an email, citadelcoins@eastlink.ca. Call to ask whether it buys gold and silver before you visit.
Sydney
1 dealer
We could not verify a dealer in Sydney itself. Proof Positive Coins in Baddeck is the nearest listing we found, and the dealers on our Online page ship to Cape Breton.
No rating could be confirmed on a third-party page we could read.
EditorThe shop is in Baddeck, on Cape Breton Island and not in Sydney. We could not read its website, so what it buys and sells comes from the directory category only. Call before driving.
Truro
1 dealer
An Estate Jewellery & Coin Shop at 31 Inglis Place appears in business directories, but nothing we read said what it buys, so it is not listed.
No rating could be confirmed on a third-party page we could read.
EditorWe found it only in directory listings, one of which carries a customer comment calling it fair and knowledgeable, which is a single comment and not a rating. No street address or website was shown, and its social page could not be read. Call to confirm what it buys.
How we list dealers
Cities. Halifax, including Bedford in the Halifax Regional Municipality, plus Dartmouth, Sydney and Truro. Dealers that ship to Nova Scotia from outside these cities are on our Online page.
Verification. Dealers were checked against their own websites where the site could be read. Where a site blocked automated reading, the listing says so and relies on BBB or the Royal Canadian Mint's dealer list, with the source named.
Fees. We only show fees a dealer states publicly. "Not published" means the dealer posts no figure, so ask for a written quote on both the buy price and the sell price before you commit.
Ratings. We show a rating only when we read it on a third-party review page with a meaningful number of reviews, and the source is named on the listing. Dealers without one have no rating we could confirm. BBB letter grades are not customer ratings.
Coverage. Branches that share an owner are listed once. Businesses we could not verify at all are left out.
Editorial notes. Short, factual points to check before you visit or order. They are not accusations and not recommendations.
