How We Test Your Items
When you send your items to our secure facility, we use several professional methods to examine and test them:
-
Acid Testing
Platinum is a "noble metal," which means it's resistant to corrosion and acid. We use specialized acids to test the purity and authenticity of platinum and other precious metals. -
Hallmark Identification
Most precious metal items include a stamp built into the metal indicating the purity. For platinum, common hallmarks include "PLAT," "PT," or "950" (indicating 95% pure platinum). -
XRF Analysis
We use cutting-edge X-ray Fluorescent (XRF) analyzer technology to determine the exact composition of your items. This non-destructive test provides the most accurate analysis of platinum and other precious metals, giving you the highest possible offer.
Not Sure What Your Items Contain?
Don't worry about determining the exact content of your items - our expert appraisers will test them using our professional equipment to precisely determine their composition and value. Our goal is to ensure you receive the highest possible offer for your platinum and precious metal items.
