The waiting is over, and the general election results are in – a Conservative majority of 80 seats, the largest majority the party has won since 1987. Markets have responded, with the pound rising, causing gold to drift lower somewhat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this, gold prices remain elevated compared to levels seen this time last year, offering anyone with a bit of scrap gold the perfect opportunity to make some handsome gains, just in time for Christmas.\u00a0It might make sense to make the most of high prices while they last, to give you a nice boost, going into year\u2019s end.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy Christmas cash boost\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Cash for\u00a0Your\u00a0Gold, we\u2019ve been tracking the performance of\u00a0gold prices<\/a>, through the ups and downs of the election campaign, and have seen how prices have settled at a level close to \u00a31,134\u00a0per troy ounce. While it\u2019s not the \u00a31,275 per troy ounce that we saw back in September, gold continues to show great value, especially for those who might be thinking of selling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While prices have drifted lower, they haven\u2019t fallen completely\u00a0into bear market territory. This means if you\u2019ve come to acquire an item you believe to be made of gold, it will still be worth much more than it was last Christmas. An item\u00a0weighing as little as\u00a0a gram with 9-carat purity could still be worth as much as \u00a313.25, at the latest prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine what you could do, if you had that much-needed cash-boost this Christmas, after selling some old jewellery or gold coins.\u00a0We accept\u00a0gold scrap items<\/a>\u00a0both\u00a0large\u00a0and small.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the hallmark if in doubt\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When\u00a0considering selling scrap gold<\/a>\u00a0items, it\u2019s always important to check\u00a0what the hallmark might say<\/a>. That\u2019s because precious metals bought\u00a0and sold\u00a0in the UK require a hallmark, to indicate that the item has been proven to have been independently assessed\u00a0for purity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Items originating outside the UK might lack a hallmark, so don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t find one. Cash for Your Gold happily accepts items for testing without hallmarks, to help you work out how pure your item may be.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purer gold items can have a high hallmark\u00a0of as much as 999.99\u00a0purity,\u00a0but this is unlikely to be something you spot in an item you\u00a0just\u00a0have lying around. The hallmark is a good way of ensuring that you can identify what you\u2019ve got, and can even help you calculate its worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our\u00a0Scrap Gold Calculator<\/a>\u00a0can give you an almost-instantaneous reading of your item\u2019s potential value – all you need to know is the purity and the weight of the item, and the calculator will do the rest. This means\u00a0you can\u00a0roughly\u00a0estimate\u00a0what you can expect to make from a gold scrap sale, before having to send a single item to us by post.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re curious about selling gold, don\u2019t hesitate to\u00a0get in touch with us<\/a>, and we\u2019ll be happy to answer any queries you may have.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
