Sell Gold in Denver: Every Local Buyer, Checked
Evidence gathered 2026-07-11 from each buyer’s own website.
6 local buyers checked — 1 publishes an actual payout rate. Everything below is what each buyer’s own site discloses: address, hours, pricing claims, and how (or whether) they say they test your gold. These local listings are not scored; only the national buyers on the full rankings carry a Gold Buyer Score.
The scored tier: national buyers that ship from anywhere
Mail-in buyers serve Denver the same way they serve every metro — an insured kit to your door. These three score highest on our public methodology; Offramp, which operates this site, currently ranks first and is scored on the same rubric as everyone else.
Offramp
Publishes its payout rate (80–90% of melt) and prices every offer from an x-ray assay on video.
Worthy
Auction model with the best assay proof in the industry: independent GIA/IGI grading reports you keep.
GoldFellow
The most price-transparent buyer — publishes its actual daily buy prices. They're just not high.
Offramp publishes its payout rate before you ship and prices every offer from an assay you can watch — offrampgold.com.

How to read this list: we record only what each buyer publishes about itself — pricing, fees, testing, insurance — because that disclosure is itself the signal. No star ratings appear here because we haven’t independently scored these businesses. Details change; call before you drive.
Colorado dealer rules
30 days within the jurisdiction of purchase, unaltered and open to police inspection; stamped, assayed bullion and gold coins are exempt from the hold (C.R.S. 18-16-103, 18-16-106). That hold — and Colorado’s licensing and ID rules — shapes how every Denver shop above operates. Read the full Colorado guide.

Denver gold-selling questions
Who pays the most for gold in Denver?
Nobody can say from public information alone — but only 1 of the 6 Denver-area buyers we checked (Bulow Jewelers) publish an actual payout rate on their own website. The rest ask you to come in for a quote. The top-scored national mail-in buyers publish rates of 80 to 90% of melt value before you ship, which gives you a number to hold any local offer against.
How many gold buyers in Denver publish their payout rates?
Of the 6 local buyers we checked on 2026-07-11, 1 publishes a payout rate on their own website. 6 of the 6 describe how they test purity; the rest don't say. We list what each buyer's own site discloses so you can compare before you walk in.
Can I sell gold in Denver without visiting a shop?
Yes. National mail-in buyers serve Denver like anywhere else: they send an insured shipping kit, test your items, and pay by wire or check — and the top-scored ones publish their payout rates and insure the shipment in writing. Mailing gold out of Colorado to sell it is legal; Colorado's dealer rules (C.R.S. 18-16-103, 18-16-106) regulate local dealers, not you.
How do Denver gold buyers test purity?
6 of the 6 buyers we checked describe testing on their own website — methods range from certified scales and acid testing to x-ray assay equipment, often done in front of you. A buyer willing to explain, in advance, how it tests and how the test becomes your price is disclosing more than one that just says "best prices."
