Hey — Emily Turner here from Unfiltered Finance.

I’m back ack with another special guest feature interview here in The ProsperityPub…

I recently sat down with Matt Malo from First and Best Precious Metals to discuss the hype surrounding gold and silver. Whether you’re looking to start a collection or offload family heirlooms — like those gold coins in the attic — you must prioritize price transparency and safety.

Matt warns against “doorbuster” tactics where dealers lure you in only to hike the price. For selling, staying local is the smartest move to avoid the risks of shipping high-value items through the mail. Legitimate dealers should always verify your metal right in front of you using specialized equipment.

💰 Price Transparency — Check online and local dealer rates to ensure you’re getting a fair market quote before committing.

🛡️ Verifiable Sources — Stick to reputable dealers with skin in the game rather than risking counterfeit items from eBay.

📍 Local Selling — Shop an itemized list to local shops to avoid shipping risks and ensure a faster payout.

💍 Jewelry and Bars — You can sell coins, bars and even jewelry, though jewelry often carries a higher refining fee.
