Things to Know About Buying Scrap Gold

What You Should Know Before Shipping

To ensure you are as well informed as possible, we have summarized important information about selling old gold and other precious metals:

  • Platinum and Palladium in White Gold
    If your scrap gold contains significant amounts of platinum or palladium, for example, in white gold alloys, these will of course be included in the compensation. We determine the exact composition during our in-house analysis.
  • No return of gemstones
    Please note that we cannot purchase, remove, or return gemstones or decorative elements separately from jewelry.
  • Return if the offer is not accepted
    If you do not agree with our purchase offer, we will, of course, return the goods to you. Return shipping will be insured and subject to a fee.

Are coins or bars also considered scrap gold?

Investment coins such as the Krugerrand or gold bars are not considered scrap gold in the traditional sense. Instead, they are standardized investment products that are generally not melted down but resold. The purchase price is calculated on a product-by-product basis and depends on the current market value and the condition of the pieces.

Geiger Edelmetalle offers you the opportunity to sell both gold coins and gold bars directly through its online shop. You benefit from transparent pricing and secure processing.

What does "fineness" mean, and how do I recognize it?

The fineness indicates the percentage of pure gold in an alloy—e.g., 585 (58.5% gold content). It is usually stamped as a number in parts per thousand (e.g., "750") on the inside of rings or on coins and bars. If no marking is present, we precisely analyze the composition in our laboratory.

How do I determine the weight of scrap gold or silver?

It's best to weigh your pieces using a digital precision scale. If you don't have one, a simple kitchen scale will suffice as an estimate. Alternatively, you can easily determine the value using our scrap gold calculator – a rough weight is enough to get an initial estimate.
