Frequently asked questions
How do I value scrap gold?
Multiply the price per gram for your gold's purity by the weight in grams. At $75 per gram for 10 grams, the melt value is $750.
Why is the price per gram lower than spot?
Scrap gold is rarely pure. The per-gram price should reflect the karat purity, so 14k gold is worth less per gram than 24k. Buyers also pay below melt value to cover refining.
