Evaluations Built for Morton Grove's Longtime Homes
Morton Grove's postwar ranches along the Dempster corridor were bought new by families who put down roots — Greek, Assyrian, Korean, Indian, and Polish households that have kept jewelry, sterling, and gold in the family ever since. When those homes turn over, the question isn't whether there's value inside. It's knowing where it is.
That's where we come in. Ivan and Diane Bilic bring nearly 40 years of combined experience to every appointment, buying gold and sterling silver, fine jewelry, and coin collections — with every piece tested, weighed, and explained in front of you. Families selling a parents' collection often start with a single evaluation visit.
Sterling, Gold, and Coins — Morton Grove's Hidden Value
From the Leaning Tower YMCA area to the quiet ranch streets off Dempster, Morton Grove estates consistently turn up the same three categories of value — and each one prices differently.
Sterling Flatware & Holloware
Unused service sets and tea sets from the 1950s-60s. We price by maker and pattern — Gorham, Towle, Reed & Barton — not just silver weight.
High-Karat Gold
21k and 22k bangles, chains, and bridal gold from Morton Grove's diverse longtime families, tested and weighed in front of you.
Inherited Coin Collections
Silver dollars, proof sets, and accumulations in coffee cans — we sort, grade, and price collections of any size at the same visit.

Morton Grove Jewelry Questions
Usually, yes. Sterling flatware is one of the most common valuable items we find in Morton Grove's postwar ranches — service-for-twelve sets from the 1950s and 60s that lived in a sideboard drawer for decades. We weigh and price each piece, and patterns from makers like Gorham, Reed & Barton, and Towle can bring more than silver value alone.
Yes, regularly. Morton Grove's long-established families often hold high-karat gold — 21k, 22k, and 24k bangles, chains, and bridal sets — and we buy it frequently. We test and weigh everything in front of you and explain exactly how the offer is built.
We come to you. Decatique is appointment-based — no storefront, no carrying heavy silver sets or coin collections across town. We regularly meet clients throughout Morton Grove, from the Dempster corridor to the neighborhoods near the Leaning Tower YMCA.
This is one of the most useful things we do. We evaluate the full collection — jewelry, sterling, coins, watches — and give you itemized values the family can use to divide things equitably, whether or not anyone decides to sell.
We buy entire estates, including jewelry, coins, sterling, watches, and collectibles. For everything else in a Morton Grove property, our property cleanout service can clear the home respectfully and efficiently once the valuables are handled.
