How to Prepare Your Precious Metals for Sale

If you’re interested in selling your gold, silver, or platinum, you may be wondering what you should do to prepare your precious metals for sale.  Here are a few tips:

 

Cleaning Your Precious Metals

Cleaning gold jewelry usually requires nothing more than a bowl of warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush. Gently scrub the jewelry and pat dry with a clean, soft towel. Remember to avoid soaking jewelry that contains gemstones, as water can get behind the jewel and ruin the setting.

If you’re selling gold or silver coins, however, you shouldn’t try to clean them—this could actually lower the value of the coins, not raise it. Many coin collectors actually value the tarnish that age brings—they call it “patina” and believe that it gives the coin character. Additionally, many amateur coin collectors accidentally devalue their coins during cleaning by making scratches on the metal.

If you’re interested in selling your gold or silver, consult with Gold & Silver Buyers. We offer cash for your gold and silver coins and jewelry. To learn more about our Houston services, call us at (281) 940-7632 today.
