Gold Buying Without an XRF Gun: A Quick Reference Guide

By Mrs Hazel Walters

A practical guide for anyone learning to buy gold.

Before investing in expensive testing equipment, learn the essential skills of gold inspection, testing and careful buying.

This illustrated quick-reference guide covers jewellery hallmarks, plated gold, suspicious workmanship, magnetic testing, acid testing, specific gravity and the all-important coin ping test.

Using practical examples, including photographs of a counterfeit Krugerrand, it explains what to look for, what results to expect and when a purchase deserves further investigation.

Additional guidance on calculating purchase prices, protecting profit margins and maintaining accurate records makes this a useful reference for new gold buyers and staff training.

A handy guide to keep at the buying counter - because one small mistake can be expensive.
