Sell Your Precious Metals: Small Quantity vs. Large Volume

Small quantity:

Large volumes via melt and assay:

Large volumes via melt and assay:

  • Visual Grading: Smaller quantities of material can be purchased by identifying a mark (i.e. 18K, 14K, 10K, Sterling silver, etc.) A stone acid test is then used to verify the mark.
  • Touch Stone Acid Test: The item being tested is scratched across a stone. A standard (known) karat is scratched alongside, and then acid is used to compare the reaction time it takes to disappear.

Large volumes via melt and assay:

Large volumes via melt and assay:

Large volumes via melt and assay:

  1. The first step in the process is to weigh and record the incoming material. 
  2. The material is melted with flux to separate metallics from non-metallic elements (i.e. stones, dirt, etc). 
  3. Bar is cleaned then weighed. 
  4. From this bar a sample is taken and assayed to give us the precise gold, palladium, silver, and in some cases a platinum content. 
  5. Once the assay is complete and the bar is ready to be purchased;  the value assigned and the price is settled on a current or forward market.
