What are Precious Metals?

Precious metals are rare metallic elements whose status is influenced by demand and scarcity, making them highly valuable. Historically, gold and silver were used as solid currency until the advent of money, and while precious metals have modern industrial applications, they are still best known for their traditional use in jeweler, coins and ancient artwork. Platinum and Palladium are also included in the precious metal family.

What testing methods do you use to determine purity (Karat)?

First, we look at the stamp that is on your jewelry. A.Lex will then use one of the two gold testing methods (acid/scratch test and X-ray fluorescence scan) to verify the gold purity of your items and determine the price for the gold.

Is the stamp, indicating 10k, 14k or 18k reliable?

Generally, the mark on your jewelry is reliable. However, we always make sure to test each piece with a scratch-acid test or using our x-ray machine. This accurate assessment of the metals allows Alex Lexington to pay our customers some of the highest amounts of cash for their gold and silver.

Is my jewelry costume or counterfeit ?

There are a number of way to tell if your gold or silver jewelry is authentic.

  • Gold and silver are not magnetic
  • Does the stamp look questionable
  • Does the stamp have the karat followed by GP or gold plated.
  • Even famous silver jewelry is counterfeit

How much money can I expect for a wedding band my husband bought for $2000?

When we buy gold for cash, we do not consider the designer or craftsmanship in determining the amount of cash we will pay you. We pay for the value of the gold, value of sterling silver and value of platinum in your unwanted jewelry.

How do you decide how much cash for gold I will get?

We base our prices on content (karat), weight of the gold jewelry and the spot price of gold. At Atlanta Gold & Silver, there are no hidden fees. Our goal is to offer our customers the highest and most accurate price for gold in the industry.

What is the spot price for gold?

Why is there a difference between the "Ask" Price for gold (price I pay to buy gold) and the "Bid" Price for gold (price I get when I sell gold)?

(a) In the context of the precious metals market, the term “bid” refers to the highest price based on the market that Atlanta Gold and Silver will pay at any given time to purchase precious metals and gold (b) The term “ask” refers to the lowest price at which Atlanta Gold and Silver will sell a specified amount of precious metals and gold for at any given time. The ask price (also known as the “offer” price for your gold) will almost always be higher than the bid price. Still confused?
