Gold Appraisers Jacksonville Florida
To get the best price for your gold, you must take it to a buyer that staffs certified gold appraisers. Jacksonville, Florida's best gold appraisers are at We Buy Gold Jax. Locally owned and operated for more than 20 years, our staff of three expert appraisers has more than 65 years of combined experience in gold appraisals.
When you bring your gold to We Buy Gold Jax, our appraisers first weigh your gold, as the gold stock exchange reports gold prices per ounce. We then visually inspect your gold through a jeweler's lens and perform an acid test to confirm that your gold is genuine, solid gold rather than plated or counterfeit. This test involves scratching a tiny portion of your gold onto a touchstone or file, then placing a drop of nitric acid onto the scratch and observing the chemical reaction:
- No reaction means it's pure, solid gold;
- A bright green reaction means it's base metal counterfeited as gold;
- A partial green reaction indicates a gold layer over base metal, which means your item is gold plated, not solid.
- A milky reaction means your item is actually gold plated silver.
These scratch tests also help us confirm the karat level of your gold. Once we confirm that your items are pure, solid gold, we offer you a price based on the latest reports from the gold exchange.
Don't trust your gold to inexperienced or uncertified gold appraisers. Jacksonville FL's We Buy Gold Jax has the expert experience needed to assure you get an honest appraisal and best-in-town price for your scrap gold.
