In today's economy, sometimes we need to find ways to earn some extra money to pay our bills or feed our families. When jobs are scarce, we sometimes come up with other means to make sure that our families are taken care of. Most of us have some type of precious metal or precious stone that we can sell. Most gold buyers will take your gold and pay you after the value has been determined.
How do gold buyers find the value of your gold? There are many steps in the process. First the gold buyer will take a large scoop and put your gold in it so that it can be melted in a graphite furnace. Then the buyer will add borax so that the precious metal can be separated from anything that is not metal so that you can get a true weight. It only takes a few minutes. Borax is used because it is colorless and can be dissolved quickly in water.
After it has been separated the gold is then put in a furnace for roughly 20 - 25 minutes. As it melts it will start to form a ball and swirl. While it is melting, you need to stir it with a rod made of graphite so that the mixture is even, resulting in a purer measurement. Then, when the molten gold is around 2000 degrees, a vacuum glass tube is dipped into the melted gold so that a liquid sample can be taken.
They then pour the melted gold into a mold and if there are still any other impurities in the gold, they will float to the surface of the form. Then, a hole is drilled into the solid gold sample so that the exact precious content can be measured. To do this, a fire assay is performed by scraping a small amount off the bar and wrapping it in silver wrapped lead foils, then put into a 1100 degree furnace to melt the silver alloy off and the gold is weighed again. Finally, the liquid sample and the solid sample are put under a spectrometer to determine its purity. If there is more than a 1% difference between the two weights, the process will need to be done again.
Most gold buyers accept your gold through the mail using special packaging and an account number so that it gets there quickly. The account number will help insure your items at a specific value. Just make sure you hold onto your shipping receipt so that both you and the gold buyers can track your package.
Once your gold arrives at the gold buyers, it is evaluated, and you will be contacted within a short amount of time. After your items have been refined and the weight approved, you will get paid for the face value of your items.
