The price of gold continues to hit new record highs. It's an opportunity to cash in by selling unwanted or broken gold jewelry.
The precious metal soared to an all-time high Friday, hitting a spot price of $1277 an ounce. And, that’s creating a nugget of opportunity for investors and people who may have a stash of unwanted or broken gold jewelry.
“Gold’s currently at a record high right now,” said Dewey Bolton, owner of Alamo Heights Coin Shop. “A lot of people are very new to gold, and they’re coming in and, you know, kind of, ‘How to how do I buy physical gold?’” Bolton said.“A lot of our business is also buying unwanted gold,” Bolton said. “We tell people we buy gold in any form. I don’t care if it’s teeth.”At Alamo Gold and Silver Refinery, Paul Evans also buys gold in any form.The spot price of gold is for 24 karat.
When someone brings jewelry in to sell, Evans first checks the purity using a stone and acids that can reveal how pure the gold is or whether it’s a fake. At any number of gold shops, sellers typically get what’s called scrap price because the metal will later be melted.After testing a necklace and a few earrings, Evans said that small handful would fetch more than $980.
Just as all gold is not the same, neither are gold buyers. It pays to do your homework and find a reputable business. Also, shop around and get quotes from a variety of buyers.As a consumer reporter, Marilyn is all about helping people stay safe and save a buck.
