Soaring gold price tempts customers to cash in coins and old jewellery

The recent surge in the price of gold has sparked a wave of interest among individuals looking to sell their scrap gold or collectible coins. UK high street pawnbrokers have reported an increase in customers as the price of gold reached a record $3,500 per troy ounce in April. While the price has since retreated, pawnbrokers are still seeing a steady stream of inquiries from people looking to cash in on their gold items.

Sutton & Robertson, a pawnbroker with stores in central London and an online service, has experienced a 30% increase in first-time customers seeking pawnbroking services. The majority of their loans are secured against gold, luxury watches, and jewelry, with customers able to borrow up to 75% of the gold’s spot price. Managing director Jim Tannahill notes that many of their clients, including entrepreneurs and small business owners, are taking advantage of the opportunity to borrow more against their gold items than ever before.

H&T, the UK’s largest pawnbroker, has also seen a surge in new customers due to the soaring price of gold. Record profits were reported at their full-year results in March, highlighting the growing interest in pawnbroking services. In addition to pawning items, customers are also looking to sell their gold coins, such as British sovereigns and Britannias, which are exempt from capital gains tax.

The value of unwanted or broken gold jewelry has also seen a significant increase. For example, the scrap price of a man’s chunky gold wedding band has risen from £300-£400 to £500-£600 over the past three years. Similarly, an 18-carat gold chain weighing around 15 grams could fetch £700-£900. Customers can research the potential value of their gold items by looking for hallmarks indicating purity and checking live gold prices on trade websites like Mastermelt.

Despite the rise in gold prices, some items, like antique pocket watches, may have lost their intrinsic value compared to the scrap value of the gold they contain. However, pieces from reputable brands like Cartier and Tiffany or vintage Art Deco jewelry may still hold value beyond their weight in gold if they are in good condition.

In conclusion, the current gold market presents opportunities for individuals to capitalize on the value of their gold items. Whether pawning for a loan or selling for cash, it’s essential to do some research and work with reputable buyers to ensure a fair deal. Stay informed about the gold market trends and consider consulting with pawnbrokers or gold dealers to make the most of this lucrative opportunity.
