Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The consolidated interim financial statements of DGSE Companies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “DGSE”), included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates [Abstract]
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates [Text Block]	Note 3 - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The line of credit, related party does not bear a market rate of interest. Management believes that, based on the Company’s situation at the time the line was negotiated, it could not have obtained comparable financing, and as such cannot estimate the fair value of the line of credit, related party. The carrying amounts reported for the Company’s long-term debt and capital leases approximate fair value because substantially all of the underlying instruments have variable interest rates, which adjust frequently, or the interest rates approximate current market rates. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to holders of the Company’s common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding determined using the treasury stock method.

Stock-Based Compensation [Text Block]	Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation by measuring the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of stock options, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. In addition, to the extent that the Company receives an excess tax benefit upon exercise of an award, such benefit is reflected as cash flow from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 8 - Related Party Transactions DGSE has a corporate policy governing the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, as that term is defined in the Instructions to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act (“Related Party”). Under this policy, all Related Party transactions are identified and approved prior to consummation of the transaction to ensure they are consistent with DGSE’s best interests and the best interests of its stockholders. Among other factors, DGSE’s Board considers the size and duration of the transaction, the nature and interest of the of the Related Party in the transaction, whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest and if the transaction is on terms that are at least as favorable to DGSE as would be available in a comparable transaction with an unaffiliated third party. DGSE’s Board reviews all Related Party transactions at least annually to determine if it is in DGSE’s best interests and the best interests of DGSE’s stockholders to continue, modify, or terminate any of the Related Party transactions. DGSE’s Related Person Transaction Policy is available for review in its entirety under the “Investors” menu of the Company’s corporate relations website at www.DGSECompanies.com. Elemetal is DGSE’s largest shareholder. Elemetal and its affiliates are also DGSE’s primary refiner and bullion trading partner.

This property is owned by an affiliate of Elemetal and also serves as their headquarters. DGSE leases space in the building subject to a lease that expired in December 2015. The Company continues to pay this lease on a month-to-month basis with no increase in the rent. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized rent expense of $ 67,500 39,375 In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary named Carbon Fund One, LLC to act as the general partner (the “General Partner”) for Carbon Fund One, LP (the “Fund”), which was established at the same time. The Fund was an investment fund specializing in the buying and selling of gemstones. The General Partner receives a one percent ownership interest of the Fund, and is paid 2% carried interest on assets under management by the Fund, and 20% of net earnings before distributions to the limited partners. The Fund was intended to provide an investment vehicle for individuals interested in investment opportunities in diamonds and gemstones, and provide incremental value to the Company’s shareholders by utilizing the Company’s expertise, infrastructure, and retail and wholesale customer base, to generate additional profit through earnings from its role as General Partner. Ultimately, DGSE’s management made the decision to end its involvement in the Fund, and the General Partner has wrapped up the Fund’s activities and liquidated all remaining inventory. The Fund transacted business with the Company from time to time, including buying gemstones from and selling gemstones to the Company. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made no sales or purchases from the Fund, and owed the Fund nothing as of September 30, 2016 in trade payables. In the three months ended September 20, 2015, the Company made no sales or purchases from the Fund. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company made no sales to the Fund, had purchases of $11,330 from the Fund, and owed the Fund nothing as of September 30, 2015 in trade payables. Additionally, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the General Partner generated net losses of $ 228 1,334 On June 20, 2016, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Elemetal and NTR, pursuant to which (i) DGSE agreed to sell and issue to NTR shares of common stock at a stock price of $0.41 per share in exchange for the cancellation and forgiveness of all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement and an associated $ 7,500,000 8,536,585 1,000,000 0.65 3,500,000

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 10 - Discontinued Operations During the first half of 2014, the Company elected to discontinue the operations of Southern Bullion, due to the lack of profitability and management's belief that it was unlikely that profitability would be reached in the foreseeable future. The significant change in the precious metals market in 2013, including a 30% decline in the spot price of gold since the acquisition of Southern Bullion in 2011, had a disproportionately negative impact on the customer traffic, transactional volume and profitability of the Southern Bullion operations. As a result, during 2013, the Southern Bullion operations generated a net loss of approximately $ 1.9 For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Revenue: Sales $ - $ - $ - $ 65 Cost of goods sold - - - - Gross margin - - - 65 Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses - (11,725) - (55,867) Depreciation and amortization - - - - Total expenses - (11,725) - (55,867) Operating income - 11,725 - 55,932 Other expense (income): Other income, net - - - - Interest (income) expense - - - (40) - - - (40) Income from discontinued operations before income taxes - 11,725 - 55,972 Income tax benefit 825 2,123 661 2,123 Income from discontinued operations after income taxes $ 825 $ 13,848 $ 661 $ 58,095 As of September 30, 2016, the Company believes it has now recognized all material expenses related to the closure of Southern Bullion operations.

[1]	On July 19, 2012, DGSE entered into a loan agreement with NTR Metals, LLC (“NTR”), an affiliate of DGSE’s largest stockholder Elemetal, pursuant to which NTR agreed to provide the Company a guidance line of revolving credit in an amount up to $7,500,000 (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement anticipated termination–at which point all amounts outstanding thereunder would be due and payable (such amounts, the “Obligations”)–upon the earlier of: (i) August 1, 2014; (ii) the date that is twelve months after the Company receives notice from NTR demanding the repayment of the Obligations; (iii) the date the Obligations are accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; or (iv) the date on which the commitment terminates under the Loan Agreement. In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company granted a security interest in the respective personal property of each of its subsidiaries. The loan carries an interest rate of two percent (2%) per annum for all funds borrowed pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Proceeds received by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement were used for repayment of all outstanding financial obligations incurred in connection with that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2005, between the Company and Texas Capital Bank, and additional proceeds have been used as working capital in the ordinary course of business. The Company incurred debt issuance costs associated with the Loan Agreement totaling $56,150. The debt issuance costs were included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, were amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over two years, and were completely amortized as of July 2014. On February 25, 2014, we entered into a one-year extension of the Loan Agreement with NTR, extending the termination date to August 1, 2015, and on February 4, 2015, we entered into an additional two-year extension, extending the termination date to August 1, 2017, unless earlier terminated as described above. No debt issuance costs were incurred in relation to these extensions. All other terms of the agreement remained the same. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding balance of the NTR loan was $2,303,359, which as of September 30, 2016 was reclassified to Current Liabilities as its maturity date is less than twelve months. See Note 8, Related Party Transactions for discussion of a proposed transaction with NTR to cancel and forgive all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, subject to certain closing conditions including but not limited to shareholder approval.
[2]	On July 11, 2006, DGSE entered into a promissory note for $2,530,000 related to the mortgage on its largest retail location in Dallas, Texas with The Ohio National Life Insurance Company. The note bore an interest rate of six and seventy one-hundredths of one percent (6.70%) per annum, with a balloon payment of approximately $1.5 million due on August 1, 2016 for the outstanding balance. Monthly principal payment payments of $20,192 plus accrued interest were required. The note was secured by the land and building. On July 27, 2016 the Company closed on the sale of this location and used the proceeds to pay off its outstanding mortgage payable balance of $1,509,027. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding balance of the note was $0 and $1,589,522, respectively.
[3]	On April 3, 2011, DGSE entered into a capital lease for $58,563 with Graybar Financial Services for phones at the new corporate headquarters. The non-cancelable lease agreement required an advanced payment of $2,304 and monthly payments of $1,077 for 60 months at an interest rate of 4.2% beginning in May 2011. At the end of the lease in May 2018, the equipment can be purchased for $1.
