About Phillies Gold – The Story Behind Our Gold & Silver Exchange

Over 40 Years in the Jewelry Business — Why Customers Keep Coming Back to Phillies Gold

You learn a lot in 40-plus years.

About people. About business. And about what it means to do things the right way.

My name’s Sam, and I’ve been in the jewelry business for over 42 years. Phillies Gold isn’t a trend or a side hustle — it’s a business I’ve built brick by brick, with a lot of long days, honest conversations, and repeat customers who’ve stuck with me through it all.

I didn’t start this business to get rich — I started it because I know the trade and how to treat people right. Over the years, I’ve had folks bring in everything from old family jewelry to coins they’ve held onto for decades. When someone hands over something like that, they deserve honesty, respect, and someone who actually knows what they’re doing. That’s what we’ve built Phillies Gold on — fair prices, straight talk, and doing right by every customer who walks through the door.

The Early Days

I started in jewelry over four decades ago. Back then, things were different — no online reviews, no social media, just word of mouth and how you treated people. You gave folks a fair deal, you were honest, and they’d come back. That’s still how I run things today.

Over the years, I built a reputation by doing right by people — whether they were selling an old piece of jewelry or looking to invest in something new. It was never about flashy sales or high-pressure pitches. It was about trust, value, and knowing your craft.

In 2008, when gold started making serious gains, I made the decision to return to the gold and silver exchange business. A lot of new buyers were flooding the market — but most didn’t have the knowledge or background to offer real value to the customer. I knew I could do better.

That’s where Phillies Gold stood out then, and it’s still what sets us apart today — real experience, fair prices, and a business built on long-term relationships.

What Makes Phillies Gold Different from Other Gold Buyers

Listen, I know there are a lot of options out there when it comes to selling your gold or buying silver jewelry. But here’s the truth: not all buyers are created equal.

I’ve seen it all — the pop-up gold buyers, the high-pressure tactics, the vague appraisals where you’re left guessing how they even came up with the number. That’s never been how we operate at Phillies Gold.

We built this business on knowledge, transparency, and treating people with respect — no gimmicks, no guesswork.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• Real Experience – I’ve spent decades learning this trade. I know the difference between 10K and 14K by sight. I can tell you what’s worth holding onto and what’s worth cashing in — and I’ll always tell you the truth, even if it’s not what makes me the most money.
  
• Fair, Honest Pricing – We don’t play games. I walk every customer through exactly what they have, what it’s worth, and how we came to that number.
  
• A Reputation I’m Proud Of – With over 159 five-star reviews on Google and hundreds of positive Etsy testimonials (many with photos), our reputation speaks for itself.
  
• Personal Attention – Whether you're selling gold or shopping for a gift, I treat every customer with respect and care. No pressure. Just honest service.

The Customers Make It Worth It

I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of customers over the years. Some have been with me for decades. Others walk in for the first time and end up coming back because they know they’ll get treated fairly. That’s what it’s always been about — earning trust one person at a time.

Here’s what some of our customers are saying:

“I am very happy to say that this place lived up to its good reviews. Sam was an awesome help with buying myself my first gold ring. The inventory on the website is extensive and makes shopping a breeze. I will certainly be returning!”
— Tyler

“I had some jewelry sitting around and decided to sell it. I had planned on going to a couple of places, but Sam was so nice, I decided to sell it there. We even talked about making a wedding band to match my engagement ring. If you’re in the market to buy or sell, this is the place to go.”
— Hope

“You just don't get a number — you’re informed on how the price is being calculated. Great experience! Highly recommend!”
— Karl

“Sam and his staff are fantastic for giving the personal touch to jewelry buying. It’s like being across the counter even when you're online. He answers all your questions and goes out of his way to make sure you're happy. His inventory is solid, and the shopping experience is excellent.”
— Piper

“Brought in an engagement ring and wedding band set I no longer needed. Sam offered a fair price, better than a few other local shops I checked. He even honored the same price when I came back a week later. Great selection of jewelry too — I’ll definitely be back.”
— Timothy

A Local Business with a Global Reach

We’re based right here in the Northeast and have built our name by serving local customers face-to-face — but our reach goes well beyond that.

Through our website and Etsy shop, we ship gold and silver jewelry across the U.S. every week. Customers from all over the country choose us because they know they’re dealing with a real business — not a faceless marketplace.

What you see online is what you get: clear product descriptions, fair prices, and fast, secure shipping. And if you have a question before buying, you’re not getting some automated reply — you're talking to someone who actually knows the product and cares if you're happy with it.

A lot of people find us online, give us a shot, and end up becoming regulars — because we keep it simple, honest, and professional. Just like we do in person.

Why Trust Still Matters in the Jewelry & Gold Business

In today’s world, trust can feel rare. But I still believe in doing business the old-school way — with your word, transparency, and pride in your work.

That’s how I’ve run Phillies Gold for over 40 years. That’s how I’ll keep running it.

Whether you’re looking to sell gold, invest in silver, buy a piece of jewelry, or just get an honest opinion, I’d be happy to help. 

No pressure. No nonsense. Just real service you can count on.
