Understanding Gold Purity

 

Gold purity is measured in karats (K). Here’s a quick guide:

 

• 24K Gold: Pure gold, but very soft and not commonly used for jewelry.
• 22K Gold: 91.6% pure, commonly used in high-quality jewelry.
• 18K Gold: 75% pure, durable, and popular for fine jewelry.
• 14K Gold: 58.3% pure, widely used in the US for jewelry.
• 10K Gold: 41.7% pure, the minimum standard for gold jewelry in the US.

 

Selling Different Types of Gold

 

• Gold Jewelry: Look for markings that indicate the karat. Items like rings, necklaces, and bracelets can fetch a good price, especially if they are designer pieces.
• Gold Coins: Collectible coins can be worth more than their gold content. Coins like the American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, and South African Krugerrand are popular.
• Gold Bars: These are usually sold based on weight and purity. Bullion dealers often offer the best prices.
• Scrap Gold: Even broken or mismatched gold items have value. We buy scrap gold by weight and purity.

 

Maximizing Your Returns

 

• Keep Gold Clean: Clean your gold items to make them more appealing to buyers.
• Know Market Trends: Gold prices fluctuate, so try to sell when prices are high.
• Compare Offers: Don’t settle for the first offer. Get multiple appraisals to ensure you’re getting the best price.

 

Common Questions About Selling Gold

 

1.How do I know if my gold is real?

• Look for hallmarks indicating karat purity, use a magnet (real gold is not magnetic), or get a professional appraisal.

2.Can I sell gold if it’s damaged?

• Yes, even damaged gold has value and can be sold as scrap.

3.What documents do I need to sell gold?

• Typically, you need a valid ID. Some states require additional documentation for large transactions.
