How selling works
- 1
Assess the material
Form, approximate purity and the expected LBMA-linked pricing basis are established.
- 2
Melt and assay
The material is melted and assayed to confirm the actual gold content.
- 3
Price and settle
Price is calculated on assayed content against LBMA minus a refining charge.
- 4
Payment
Payment follows assay, with no upfront fees before the metal is seen.
What sets the Gold Dust price when you sell
When you sell Gold Dust, you are paid on assayed gold content, not a stated figure. Gold Dust typically runs at 85% – 91% Au (typical 88%) and is verified by Melt and fire assay, XRF on melted button, after which the value is calculated against the LBMA spot minus a refining charge.
So two things set your net proceeds: the real purity of your Gold Dust, and the discount or fee the buyer or refinery applies. The higher the purity and the clearer the source, the better the price.
Avoiding mistakes when selling Gold Dust
The biggest mistake is paying or handing over Gold Dust before a clear agreement on the assay method and price basis. Always insist on assay first, and never pay upfront fees before the metal is seen and tested.
