A: At Texas Gold and Silver Buyers we are experts in the world of High Karat Gold. We do not utilize the traditional "Acid Test" that is highly unreliable for purity determination, especially when being used with High Karat Gold. We exclusively use the Olympus Gold Xpert XRF X-Ray. This sophisticated machinery quickly, fairly and honestly assays (tests) Precious Metals with near precise results. This method of testing is considered the "Gold Standard" in the industry. With this technology we can quickly and precisely determine the karat (purity) of Dental Gold, Placer Gold/Nuggets and Home Processed Gold Buttons. (many people process Electronic Waste and low grade Gold and Gold-Filled items at home and the end result is usually a higher karat "button"). We are able to pay more than the competition because we know exactly what we are buying, and taking all the "guess work" out of what the traditional acid testing method normally produces. Don't settle for Low Karat pay-outs on your potential High Karat Gold, simply because someone can't determine exactly what karat of gold they are looking at. We will assay each dental piece, placer nugget, or button and make offers on the EXACT assay results of the X-Ray, based on the current market price of Gold and weight. The process is quick, and our No-Hassle TOP DOLLAR Quotes are FREE!
