What is Scrap Gold?
If you aren't familiar with the gold buying market, you might not know exactly what I'm talking about when I reference "scrap gold." Basically, scrap gold is pretty much any gold item that isn't in good or usable condition but still has value because it is made of gold or has a high gold content. These are a few examples of scrap gold, although it is not an exhaustive list:
Broken jewelry
Jeweler's scrap
Dental gold
Damaged gold watches
Damaged gold coins
Gold findings (such as clasps, etc)
Gold-containing electric components

How Much is My Scrap Gold Worth at Hilltop Pawn Shop?
So, how much is your scrap gold worth? Well, because the items likely are not repairable or usable, they are valued based off of their melt value. Basically, this means we determine how much the gold is worth when it's solely being used to be melted down, with the melt later being used to make new jewelry or other gold items. Melt value or scrap value is based off of the gold content and the weight of the gold, as well as the current spot price of gold. It also varies based on who you sell to -- at Hilltop Pawn, we are well-known around Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads for making top dollar payments, so you can get more money for your gold here!
