Getting here
Finding our Annandale store
The Annandale store is on Columbia Pike — Route 244 — in the heart of downtown Annandale, close to where Columbia Pike, Little River Turnpike (Route 236), and Backlick Road all come together. It is one of the most central spots in town, which makes it a quick stop whether you are coming from Alexandria, Falls Church, Springfield, or Bailey's Crossroads.
We are inside the Capital Beltway, roughly two miles east of the I-495 interchange at Little River Turnpike, so you reach us on surface streets instead of a long highway run. Annandale is not on a Metrorail line — buses connect the area to the nearest stations — so most customers drive in, have their gold or coins appraised at the counter, and leave paid the same visit.
Bring your items and a valid government-issued photo ID.
01
Step 1: Bring In What You Have
No need to sort, clean, or research anything. Bring your jewelry, coins, watches, and flatware, even the pieces you are unsure about. We have seen it all.
02
Step 2: We Sort & Group It
We go through every item with you, one by one. Gold grouped by karat, coins by type, watches evaluated on their own. Nothing left guessed at.
03
Step 3: Tested on the Spot
Each piece goes through our XRF analyzer, the same technology refineries use, to find its exact metal content. You watch every test, on camera.
04
Step 4: We Calculate Your Offer
Every item goes into our system and is priced against the live spot price for gold, silver, platinum, or palladium. You see every line and number.
05
Step 5: You Review & Sign
We print a full itemized receipt with every item and price listed. You review it and you sign. No surprises.
06
Step 6: You Get Paid
We pay you by check on the spot, drawn on a local bank so you can cash it the same day. No waiting, no checks in the mail.
“I got almost 50% more here than offered by a jeweler in Herndon (they know who they are; there's only 1 in downtown Herndon). Ethan was courteous, prompt, and efficient. 5 stars for the shop and 5 stars for the service.”

How do I get to the Annandale store on Columbia Pike?
Head for downtown Annandale, near where Columbia Pike meets Little River Turnpike and Backlick Road. The store sits inside the Beltway, about two miles east of the I-495 exit for Route 236. Annandale has no Metrorail stop, so most people drive in or take a connecting bus.
Does the Annandale store buy gold and silver bullion?
Yes. Gold bars, rounds and gold bullion coins are bought at up to 90% of the spot price, and silver bullion typically at 85 to 90% of spot. Each piece is still tested in front of you before the final number is set.
Is the Annandale store a pawn shop?
No. We buy outright and do not make loans against your items. When you accept an offer, the sale is final and you leave with payment, not a pawn ticket. The store also holds its own Virginia precious metals dealer permit, listed near the top of this page.
