Gold is a finite resource and, following the economic downturn, investors have turned their attention back to what is known as the global currency. Gold, as an investment vehicle, offers a reasonably stable basis to any portfolio and this means that it is highly sought after by investors. As the spot price for gold increases so too the scrap gold price tends to increase as well. If you have a collection of old jewellery or damaged gold then you can benefit from increases in the price of gold by selling these items.
You can sell virtually any gold item. Jewellery and watches are among the most commonly sold of items but they are far from being the only things you can sell. Gold coins, ornaments, and even gold fillings and gold teeth all hold real value. Essentially, all items will be melted down and turned back into gold again so the condition and age are of much less importance than the purity and hallmark of the items in question.
Obviously, the more your gold weighs the higher its value, assuming that all else is equal. The hallmark is also important. It is easier for a scrap gold buyer to be able to value gold that has a recognised UK hallmark although that’s not to say they won’t accept gold with foreign or even no hallmark whatsoever.
The carat of your gold will influence how much you receive in a big way. 24 carat gold is considered pure gold and all other carats are measured against this as a percentage. For example, 9 carat gold is 37.5% pure while 14 carat gold is 58.3% pure. The greater the purity of the gold, the greater its value.
There are many factors that influence the current scrap gold price but you can take advantage of this by selling your old and unwanted gold items. You can use the money for any purpose while also clearing out your collection of jewellery that you no longer wear or that is badly damaged. Use a reliable service that offers the best price in order to enjoy the best possible service when selling your gold.
