Keep your bi-metal scraps separate from your sterling and karat gold scrap to receive the best value for your scrap.
18K on Sterling Scrap
(Gold Market x .028) + (Silver Market x .8) = 18K/stg. scrap price
Example: per ounce
($375.00 x .028) + ($5.00 x .8) = $14.50
10.50 + 4 = $14.50
22K on Sterling Scrap
(Gold Market x .091) + (Silver Market x .653) = 22K/stg. scrap price
Example: per ounce
($375.00 x .091) + ($5.00 x .653) = $37.38
34.12 + 3.26 = $37.38
Assay percent accountability may vary according to quality of material received and additional costs of processing. Your material will be held pending your acceptance of settlement.
