How to Find Out What Your Old Gold Jewelry is Worth Now - Gold Prices Hit Record High: Six in Ten Germans Own Gold, But Selling Can Be Tricky

Gold prices have reached an all-time high, with a troy ounce now worth over 3,500 euros. Six out of ten Germans own gold, with the value of gold in private hands significantly increasing in recent years. However, determining the value of dental gold and intricate jewelry can be challenging, and selling gold requires careful consideration.

When selling gold, it's crucial to understand its value. Dental gold and intricate jewelry can be difficult to assess, often requiring expert estimation. The material value of old jewelry can be determined by checking its engraving for the gold content. Meanwhile, investment coins like the Krugerrand have a standardized value, while collector's coins are worth what another collector is willing to pay.

To get the best deal, compare multiple offers from jewelers, gold dealers, or online platforms. Don't let the gold out of your sight until the sale is complete. Stiftung Warentest recommends online dealers like Anlagegold24, Auragentum, ESG-Edelmetall-Service, and the Solit Group, each with at least one physical store location, for the cheapest physical gold.

With gold prices at record highs, now might be a good time to sell. Be sure to understand the value of your gold, compare offers, and choose a reputable buyer. Whether you opt for in-person jewelers, home experts, or online dealers, taking your time and doing your research can help you get the best price for your gold.
