From a Trusted Dentist to Your Precious Metals Expert
Trust isn't built overnight. It's earned through years of consistent, respectful service. Before founding North Shore Precious Metals, Jim spent his career as a dentist in downtown Chicago, where he learned that the most valuable asset he had was his clients' confidence in his integrity.
He knows your valuables are more than just metal - they’re part of your family's story. That’s why he created a different kind of precious metals experience, one built on transparency where the relationship is valued more than any single transaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your offer is based on three key factors: the purity of the metal (karat), its weight, and the live market price at the moment of your appointment. Jim tests and weighs everything right in front of you and explains the process, so you can feel 100% confident in your offer.
It’s a simple, private, and respectful conversation. Jim will sit with you to examine your items, explain what he’s looking for, and answer any questions you have. The entire process is confidential and focused on your comfort.
Absolutely not. Jim’s evaluations are always free, and Jim’s offers come with no obligation. You can take as much time as you need to decide. Jim’s goal is to provide you with clear information and a fair offer, never to pressure you into a sale.
