Sell Your Gold
How We Determine Your Gold’s Value
At Portland Gold Exchange, every gold payout is calculated transparently based on live international spot market rates, verified purity, and exact net weight. We evaluate two primary categories of gold:
- Investment-Grade Gold Bullion: Recognized gold coins and minted bars (such as American Gold Eagles, Canadian Gold Maple Leafs, etc.) have established market liquidity and can be priced immediately. Furthermore, because our storefront operates in Oregon, all gold bullion purchases are 100% sales-tax-free.
- Karat Jewelry, Scrap & Dental Gold: Items without standardized bullion weights require diagnostic testing to determine exact karat purity (10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, 24k) and net precious metal weight. Payouts reflect the exact fine gold content contained within your items.
Our Comprehensive Gold Purchasing Directory
We purchase all forms of gold regardless of condition:
- Gold Bullion & Coins: American Gold Eagles, Gold Buffalos, Canadian Gold Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, Mexican Pesos, recognized bars, ingots, rounds, and more.
- Fine & Scrap Gold Jewelry: Rings, chains, necklaces, bracelets, bangles, earrings, brooches, and charms in any condition (intact, scratched, kinked, or broken).
- Dental Gold XRF Analysis: Extracted gold crowns, bridges, partials, and fillings contain valuable gold, platinum, palladium, and silver alloys. Dental gold is tested using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis to categorize alloy tiers (Yellow Dental Gold min. 60%, White Dental Gold min. 25%, and Platinum/Palladium Dental min. 20%).
- Unmarked & Gold-Filled Items: Unstamped gold pieces will be evaluated using the magnet test, acid-scratch test and potentially analyzed via XRF or specific gravity density testing. We also purchase gold-filled items stamped Gold Filled, GF, 1/10, 1/20, or Guaranteed 10/20 Years (including pocket watch cases and vintage lockets).
