- 7. WHAT TO DO BEFORE SENDING GOLD TO A REFINERY DO NOT BITE THE GOLD TO TEST IT. The piece could be gold-plated lead, which is softer than gold.
- 8. WHAT TO DO BEFORE SENDING GOLD TO A REFINERY Place a drop of NITRIC ACID on the gold. If it bubbles/ fizzes or turns green, the metal is not karat gold. The less the metal reacts, the higher the purity. This test cannot accurately assess the actual value of the gold item, but it can help you spot fakes.
- 9. WHAT TO DO BEFORE SENDING GOLD TO A REFINERY KNOW YOUR WEIGHTS. All metal is always weighed in “Troy Ozs”, and not the standard avoirdupois. (If you are using a standard scale, be sure to adjust accordingly!) 1 avoirdupois oz = 0.911458333 Troy ozs.
