Gold Coin Collecting

Internet, new frontier of gold selling   by Fabio Cesali

During these days of economic crisis, the availability of cash has become a priority for many families, even a significant part of those who have never had financial problems in the past. Access to credit is still difficult and involves risks for the future, making it even more uncertain, because when we borrow money we actually decide to spend today what we might earn tomorrow.
The quotation of gold metal is positively affected by the devaluation of the US dollar and the poor performance of market in general, so it might be a good idea to make a couple of calcualtions and see how much money we might be able to get from our scrap gold.
Old - even broken - jewelry, medals, coins and any other objects of gold have a value that can vary depending on the degree of purity of the metal and the local quotation of gold, but objects made of gold from 18 to 24 carats should be worth not less than 15-18 euro per gram. As for the embarrassment to go in person to the jewelry around the corner, somehow revealing to the neighborhood your temporary financial difficulties, the problem is now solved by the growing number of websites that buy gold online, which usually ensure better quotations and provide fast payments. Usually it is possibile to have the gold taken directly at home by a courieer - for quantities of 20 grams or more - and receive the money in a few days, just the time needed for the technicians to check our objects and separate what's gold and what's not. The payments come some days later, also because there are countries where the law requires the buyers to put these gold objects at police's diposal for a period of time - usually several days - in order to avert the selling of stolen goods.
