Traces of gold are found in some jewellery, electronics and dental work; this is scrap gold. You can sell it to scrap gold buyers who make an offer based on the weight and carat quality. Chances are you have a few items around the house that contain scrap gold.
Dental items
Old unused dental caps, crowns, fillings and bridges contain a small amount of gold, usually around 16-carat quality, mixed with other metals to make it hard. Gold is seldom used in dental work now, so people often have old pieces lying around. A gold crown can contain around 2 grams of decent-quality gold.
Household electronics
Gold is used as contact plating for switches, relays and circuit boards, so small amounts are found in cell phones, calculators, GPS devices and computers. It is difficult to evaluate the quality, and it must be gathered in bulk to represent any great worth.
Broken jewellery and watches
Jewellery is the primary source of scrap gold. You receive less than the item's retail value because you are not paid for craftsmanship, but it can be an attractive option if you need money quickly. To estimate value: multiply the weight in grams by the carat value, divide by 24 to get the grams of pure gold, then multiply by the price per gram.
Gold coins
Only older coins contain gold and may be worth a premium as collectibles. If they are damaged or unidentifiable, they can still be worth a lot as scrap gold, since many are made of 22-carat gold.
