where to sell gold bullion / dore from dental scrap gold to?

Question

I've melted lots of dental scrap into an ingot / gold bar and refined it using a home refining system. its 99.98% gold. where can i sell it to? I saw others on Ebay which sold for a lot less than the gold spot price (ie, spot was $20/gram and other home-made bars were selling for roughly $16/gram only) The only ones selling for a good price were the stamped ones from Metalor, Suisse, etc. Since I made it myself, what do I do with it? I tried selling some before to refiners I found online like Midwest Refineries and Garfield, but the return was NOT as advertised. They claimed I would get 94%-96% of the value but they really only gave me like 60% - scammers, to say the least. Anyways, does anyone have experience with a reputable gold buyer for non-minted gold bullions? Allso, I have a good amount of palladium which is about half the price of gold - who can buy that at a good price? Thanks

im dealing with about 50 oz. what is the minimum for a known refining company to refine my gold, and do you know what rates they charge?

Answer 1

Many coin dealers will buy bullion. You might also try jewelry stores (real jewelers, not the places in the mall).

Answer 2

I am not sure if anyone can get Gold Bullion & Dore bar filling in his or her teeth because a Doré bar can weigh as much as 25 kg. So I highly doubt that someone can get a Dore bar scrap gold from his or her dental scrap.

Answer 3

Based on my limited experience you will have problems selling bullion that is not refined by a known refinery. The prices you have been attracting might actually be a good price for what you have to offer.

What quantity are you dealing with? Are you dealing with quantities that would be worth taking to a name brand refinery so you can then sell it through the banking system?
