The JCR Experience
No matter your experience level with gold and silver, you’ll find knowledgeable support and a warm welcome at JCR Gold Exchange. Our educational & transparent process ensures you feel confident in selling your precious metals at industry-leading prices.
Our Process
Sort by purity
Our process begins with a simple magnet test. Pieces with clasps, springs, or wires require additional scrutiny. Next, we meticulously inspect purity stamps and markings, categorizing your items based on karat marks to determine their likely purity levels.
Karat Validation
To verify the purity of your gold, we conduct an acid test and, when applicable, a electromagnetic resonance test. These tests preserve the integrity of your precious metals while also providing accurate karat validation.
Weigh & Price
After the exact purity of your metals are confirmed, we weigh using state certified and calibrated scales to determine the value of your items. At JCR Gold Exchange, we pride ourselves in transparency and accuracy for fair compensation.
