Common coins and bars of precious metals are also purchased by banks. But where do you actually get the best price and what should you look for when choosing a buyer? We have important tips for you!

Who pays best for old gold jewelry, silverware & Co?

As a matter of principle, you should obtain several offers from different dealers before the final sale and compare them carefully. Time and again, the "black sheep" of the industry try to fob off sellers with only a fraction of the current value. Often, you can also inquire about the current price on the websites beforehand. As a rule, you will find at least the purchase prices for the most important alloys (for jewelry 750 and 585 gold.)

The value of your pieces then always results from the weight of your pieces in grams, the fineness of your gold and just the current price for gold.

How do I recognize a reputable gold buyer?

A reputable precious metals dealer will first separate all of your pieces by karat. Also, make sure that the dealer does a close inspection of your pieces, reads the hallmarks on your jewelry correctly, and determines the exact karat number of the gold jewelry through a special acid test.

Then he weighs your gold separately by carat number on a calibrated scale in your presence. It is important that you yourself can see the weight on the scale.

In addition, he should also offer you a free appraisal of your pieces without any obligation to sell. The quantity should not matter - no matter how many rings, necklaces, loose pieces, dental gold pieces, coins, gold bars or scrap gold or old gold you want to have appraised: A reputable buyer will appraise all your pieces free of charge.

Also, in the course of a reputable gold purchase from a trusted gold dealer, you will receive a receipt or voucher when you sell your jewelry.

Besides a dealer's website, you can also search for the buyer via Google. You will see: A recommendable gold dealer will also have correspondingly good ratings. Otherwise, you should be careful.

Attention to price information over the phone: These do not necessarily have to match the actual prices. Do not let yourself be talked into anything. Only the price after the evaluation of your parts on site is decisive.
