According to a press release from the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Refinery, gold and silver prices are higher than ever and rising. The U.S. dollar is weak and the world economy is in shambles. Yet the demand for gold and silver is high.

Starting Tuesday, Jan. 26, the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Refinery will host a 5 day precious metals reclamation drive.

Local area businesses and the general public will have a rare opportunity to turn their precious metals direct to our refinery where they will be paid on the spot.

Ohio Valley God & Silver Refinery expects to purchase over $300,000 worth of antiques, collectables, gold, silver, platinum and palladium during the 5-day event.

Refineries typically do not do business with the public. Rather, they deal with precious metal accumulators like jewelry stores, pawn shops, dentist offices or industrial facilities that trade with some form of precious metal.

Gold, silver, platinum and palladium will be accepted each day of this five day reclamation drive. All forms are welcome including scrap jewelry, dental gold, gold leaf, jewelry's raw gold, gold coins, gold bars, silver coins, sterling flatware, silver coins and silver bars, industrial scrap, etc.

All local area businesses that deal with precious metals are encouraged to call ahead and make an appointment with one of our representatives. There are no appointments needed for the general public to sell their items.

The event will take place at the Logan County Extension Office, 255 John Paul Rd., Russellville on Jan. 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30. Tuesday through Friday will be from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For further information or appointments please contact 615-915-5450.
