assessment

We will offer you our Fair Market Assessment of your scrap material less a 5% processing charge (10% processing charge for silver).

Beware of Middlemen! - Local gold buying stores and coin dealers only pay a fraction of the metal value. They do not have the ability to determine all the metal present. They turn around and sell the metal to a professional refiner like Hoover & Strong to make a profit. Don’t sell your old jewelry and other scrap to a middleman when you can receive top dollar from Hoover & Strong!

*Our assessment is based on metal markets in conjunction with the quantity and quality of your material and analytical criteria. Markets are set on the day your refining is received. Gold, silver, platinum and palladium are payable at 100% of London PM Fix.
