Sell Gold for Cash — Top Dollar for Gold Jewelry, Coins & Bullion
Get a free, transparent evaluation of your gold jewelry, coins, and bullion. We test and weigh in front of you — no obligation to sell.
Selling gold has never been easier. Astoria Gold Buyer Pawn Shop pays competitive cash for gold jewelry, coins, bullion, and scrap gold. Whether you have a broken gold chain, an old class ring, or a collection of gold coins, we offer free evaluations and same-day payment with no obligation to sell.
Gold prices change daily based on the global market spot price. We calculate your offer based on the current rate, the karat purity of your gold, and the exact weight. Everything is done transparently — you see the testing, the weighing, and the math before you decide.
What Affects the Value of Your Gold
Several factors determine how much cash you receive for your gold. Karat purity is the most important — 24K gold is 99.9% pure, while 14K is 58.3% pure. Higher purity means higher value per gram.
Weight is the second factor — more gold means more value. We weigh in grams or pennyweights on a calibrated digital scale. The current market spot price of gold fluctuates throughout the day, and we use real-time pricing to ensure a fair offer.
