Buying gold: frequently asked questions
This FAQ answers practical pre-visit questions about price, purity, testing, documents, payment, and the limits of online appraisal.
Price and purity
An offer depends on purity, net weight, metal price, and transaction terms. Marks such as 585 and 750 are useful indications but need confirmation.
Documents and payment
Ask which identification, receipts, or certificates are needed and how the transaction is recorded. Payment terms should be clear before acceptance.
Sovereigns, coins, and silverware
Coins and silver items may have metal or collector value. Authenticity, condition, weight, and demand are assessed item by item.
