The spot price is the rate bullion trades at between dealers, in bulk, with no service attached. What we offer a private seller reflects that same rate, adjusted for the realities of buying a single piece, from a single person, with certainty on both sides.
- Understanding Value
What determines your gold's value
Six factors shape almost every valuation we make, from a single ring to a parcel of scrap.
Weight & Purity
Purity (karat) determines what proportion of the piece is pure gold — 24ct is pure, 9ct is 37.5% gold by weight
The Live Spot Price
Gold moves with the global market throughout each day — we price every offer against the live rate, not a fixed figure.
Form
Bullion bars and coins trade close to spot price; jewellery and scrap are valued on melt value plus any collectible premium.
Hallmarks & Certification
A visible hallmark confirms purity and speeds up valuation — though we test and verify gold regardless.
Condition
For bars and coins, investment-grade condition and original packaging can carry a premium above melt value.
Numismatic Value
Rare or historic coins can be worth significantly more than their gold content alone — we assess these separately.
