If you have old gold jewelry, coins, bullion or even dental gold sitting unused, selling it can turn clutter into cash. Knowing how the process works helps you feel confident and ensures you receive a fair offer.
Know What You Have
Gold is measured in karats: 24K is pure gold, while 14K and 10K contain alloys for strength. Most jewelry in the United States is 14K. Look for stamps inside rings or on clasps. If a stamp is worn away, a reputable buyer can test the metal for you.
How Gold Is Tested
Professional buyers test gold with acid, electronic testers or X-ray fluorescence. The item is also weighed on a calibrated scale. A trustworthy buyer will test and weigh your items in front of you and explain each step.
Understand Spot Price
Gold prices change daily based on the global spot price. Buyers typically pay a percentage of that value depending on karat, weight and resale potential. Coins and bullion with collectible value may command more than melt price. Ask how the buyer calculates the offer and whether payout is made on the spot.
