Are you one of the thousands of people who is looking into the selling your gold jewelry and coins to online pawn shops? Are you also one of the thousands of people who bought the First Spouse Coins that were issued a couple of years ago? If you answered yes to both of those questions then make sure that you’re careful when getting ready to sell scrap gold to pawn shops. You don’t want to accidentally lose those valuable First Spouse coins by throwing them in with your junk gold that you’re getting ready to sell.

For those of you who don’t know, the First Spouse coins are a series of gold coins that feature the wives of the first presidents of this country. They were sold primarily to coin collectors, history buffs and people with an interest in women’s rights. They sold quickly; the first two coins sold out within hours of going up for sale. This makes them a hot commodity with a lot of value. They have more value as collectors’ items than as scrap gold so if you’re going to sell them then you’ll want to sell to collectors. The rest of your gold junk can make you some money at the pawn shop but save these babies for later.
