Can You Sell Your Gold Dental Crown?
Gold dental crowns have been used by many since hundreds of years ago. Even though other metals have been used to make dental crowns, gold has been the preferred choice for metal crowns for centuries. If you have a gold dental crown somewhere that is no longer in use, you may be thinking about whether you can sell your gold crown in exchange for cash. Here are some things you should know about selling your gold crowns.
Will People Buy Gold Dental Crowns?
Many gold dealers and online gold buyers offer to buy dental gold. Some buy dental gold in bulk through dental offices while others buy dental scrap directly from individuals. In most cities, individuals are also able to sell their gold dental crowns with other metals and jewelry to pawn shops and other gold buyers. If you are an individual seller trying to sell a few gold bridges or gold dental crowns, it will be best to look for businesses that are familiar with handling small amounts of gold. These refiners are more specialized in handling such gold in small amounts cost effectively. Hence, they will be likely to be able to pay more for your dental gold.
How is the Value of Your Gold Dental Crown Determined?
Gold dental crowns are usually made with dental grade metal alloys. These alloys differ a lot in their gold content. Depending on the type of dental crown you have, the gold used for your dental crown is likely to be between 10 karat to 18 karat gold. The purest form of gold is 24 karat gold. The gold buyer will consider the gold content of your dental crown, as well as its weight to determine how much to pay you. The gold buyer should also refer closely to the current market price of gold.
Other types of metals can also be used in dental crowns. This includes palladium, chrome, copper, nickel, tin, silver or more. Sometimes, these metals interact with gold in a way that makes it difficult to entirely capture gold during refining. Unfortunately, although some crowns seem gold in color, they have very little gold content.
Assays are required to get the most accurate valuation of your gold, especially since the values of karat can differ greatly. Often, it is not cost effective for big gold refiners and businesses to assay a single gold crown from an individual seller. After the gold buyer purchases and assays the gold dental crown from the seller, the buyer will likely add the crown to another larger batch of gold. This is to make it more cost effective when they refine the entire batch of materials at the same time.
When you intend to sell your gold dental crown, you should only work with a buyer who is willing to give you a quote, and one who does not rush you into making a decision. Another thing to look out for is whether the buyer is willing to return your gold to you should you be unsatisfied with the price offered.
How Much Should You Expect to Receive for Your Gold Dental Crown?
There can be variations to the amount you receive for your dental crown for numerous reasons, including the market price for gold, the content of gold in your crown, the weight of the crown and more. Most crowns fall in between $40 to $90, while those that have a very high gold content can be valued at up to $200.
