What Affects the Value of Your Gold?

Gold value is not based on appearance alone. A proper assessment looks at the amount of real gold present and the current market conditions, along with item-specific factors.

Purity Gold purity may be marked as 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct, or 24ct.
Weight Verified weight is central to most gold calculations, especially for jewellery, scrap gold, and bullion.
Current Gold Price The live gold price gives a market-linked reference point for estimating value.
Condition & Authenticity Damage may matter less for scrap-type gold, but authenticity, hallmarks, packaging, and certificates still count.
Item Type Jewellery, coins, Krugerrands, and bars can require different checks and valuation considerations.

A Better Option Than a Typical Pawn Shop

A general pawn-style buyer may approach gold as one of many second-hand items. A specialist gold buyer starts with the factors that directly affect gold value: purity, weight, item type, authenticity, and current market pricing. That gives sellers a more relevant starting point, especially for bullion, coins, Krugerrands, and broken gold.

  • Clear photos From a few different angles, so we can see the item properly.
  • Hallmarks or carat stamps Note any markings that are visible on the piece.
  • Approximate weight Even a rough estimate helps, if you know it.
  • Certificates, packaging, or receipts Especially important for coins and bars.
  • Item type Jewellery, a coin, a Krugerrand, a bar, bullion, or a mixed collection.
  • Condition notes Any damage, missing stones, broken clasps, or incomplete items.

What Helps When Selling Gold?

The more useful information you can provide, the easier it is to give a sensible starting estimate. You can still make contact even if you do not have all the details.

Gold and Bullion Coins FAQs

We buy silver bullion coins and bars across the Western Cape, whether you have a single coin or a large collection. When you sell to us, we carefully assess each bullion coin by its purity, weight, condition, and the current silver price. Unlike pawn shops, we don’t use a generic approach. Our aim is to offer a transparent, fair evaluation so you receive the best value for your coins and bullion.

Can I sell gold without knowing the carat?

Do you buy broken gold jewellery?

Yes. Broken gold jewellery may still have value based on gold content and weight.

How fast can I get a quote?
