Sell Gold: How to Determine Gold Value
Many gold selling beginners commit a mistake in determining whether the gold piece is actually made of real gold, or is just simply gold-plated. To save your face from embarrassment when you sell gold to a pro, remember to determine how much gold is in each piece of jewelery. Here are two common ways to assess the value of your gold:
1. Look for the karat number. It is always ideal to know about the karat number before you sell gold. He Preferably, the gold’s karat should be 18K, although pre-1980 gold jewellery are actually about 17K-17.5K only.
2. Do an acid test. The acid test is usually done by a gold expert, but this procedure is very easy to do so even if you are just beginning to sell gold, you are surely capable of doing it. All you need to do is to purchase acid and stone kits and read the manual on how to perform the acid test.
