Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my gold worth?
It depends on the karat (purity), weight in grams, and the live gold spot price. Try our Gold Estimator for an instant number, or bring it in for a free appraisal.
Do I need an appointment?
No — walk-ins are welcome. Appraisals take just a few minutes.
What do I need to sell gold?
Just your gold and a valid state or government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport).
Do you buy broken or scrap gold?
Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, dental gold — gold is gold, and we pay for it by karat and weight.
Is selling gold better than pawning it?
Selling pays more upfront and is final. A pawn loan pays slightly less but lets you get your item back. We're happy to quote you both options.
Where to Sell Gold in Pompano Beach: Jeweler, Mail-In Buyer, Bullion Dealer or Pawn Shop?
Here is how the four main options compare for someone in Pompano Beach holding a chain, a ring or a bag of broken pieces.
| Where you sell | What they usually want | How and when you get paid | Good fit when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local jeweler | Pieces they can resell or repair; many prefer to give store credit | Store credit or a check, sometimes after an outside appraisal | You plan to buy from that jeweler anyway |
| Mail-in gold buyer | Scrap gold by weight | Check or deposit after they process your package, often a week or more; you cannot watch the test | You are far from any walk-in buyer and can wait |
| Bullion or coin dealer | Coins and bars of known weight and purity; many refuse broken jewelry or dental gold | Check or wire, often by appointment | You hold Eagles, Maple Leafs, Krugerrands or bars |
| Pawn shop (DD Pawn Loans) | Anything gold: 10K to 24K jewelry, scrap, dental gold, coins, bars | Cash the same visit, after you watch the karat and weight test | You want to see the test, be paid today, or keep the option to pawn |
DD Pawn Loans is a licensed Florida pawnbroker under Chapter 539, Florida Statutes, so every gold purchase is written up on a state transaction form with your photo ID: a documented sale, not a cash handshake. A pawn shop is also the only one of the four that can lend on the piece instead of buying it.
Pawn Your Gold Instead of Selling It
If you need cash this week but want the piece back, pawn it. We test and weigh the gold in front of you the same way, agree on a loan amount, and you leave with cash and a pawn ticket while the item sits in our safe. Repay the loan plus the pawn charge and your gold comes home. Under Florida law a pawn runs 30 days with a 30-day grace period.
No credit check, no effect on your credit score, and if you choose not to redeem, the item settles the loan and you owe nothing further. Pompano Beach customers pawn a 14K Cuban link, a wedding set, or a grandparent's coins, then pick them up after their next paycheck. Limits and what to bring are on the collateral loans page.
What Pompano Beach Customers Bring In
- Cuban links, rope chains and Figaro chains in 10K and 14K
- 10K nail rings, name plates and bracelets
- Religious pieces: San Lazaro medals, Caridad del Cobre pendants, crosses and Jesus medallions in 14K
- Class rings, wedding sets after a divorce, and single earrings
- Dental gold crowns and bridges; we test the crown and pay for the gold content

More Questions About Selling Gold in Pompano Beach
Can you pawn 10K gold, or only sell it?
Both. 10K is one of the most common karats we see in Pompano Beach: nail rings, Figaro chains, bracelets and name plates. It is 10 parts gold out of 24 and is priced per gram like 14K and 18K, adjusted for purity. We quote a sale price and a pawn loan amount side by side so you can choose.
How much is 14K gold worth at a pawn shop today?
Three numbers decide it: the live spot price per troy ounce, the purity (14K is 14 parts gold out of 24) and the weight in grams. The gold price today in Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale or Boca Raton is the same starting point; what differs is each buyer's margin. Run your piece through our Gold Estimator for a ballpark before you drive over.
Do pawn shops buy gold-filled or gold-plated jewelry?
Not by weight. Gold-filled (stamped GF, 1/20 12K or similar) and plated (HGE, GP, GEP) pieces carry a thin layer of gold over base metal, so there is not enough gold content to pay for. We test them free and tell you straight. Solid 10K and up, we buy. Unmarked piece? We test it in front of you.
Do you buy gold coins such as American Eagles?
Yes. American Eagles, Buffalos, Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, old U.S. gold pieces and small bars all come through the door. Bring any assay card or capsule. We check weight and authenticity in front of you and pay cash the same visit. Read our coin selling guide if you are not sure what you have; silver coins and bars are covered on the silver page.
I live in Margate, Coral Springs or Fort Lauderdale. Is it worth the drive?
Yes, it is the same shop for all three. From Margate it is about 10 minutes east on Atlantic Blvd, from Coral Springs about 15 minutes the same way, and from Fort Lauderdale about 15 minutes north on I-95 to Exit 36. You watch the test, get a cash offer, and the appraisal is free if you decline.
Scrap, Broken and Dental Gold: What We Buy and How It Is Tested
Most people looking for scrap gold buyers near Pompano Beach hold pieces nobody wears anymore: a snapped chain, one earring, a crown from the dentist. We buy it by weight and purity, and a break does not lower the value of the gold in it. Each piece is tested at the counter while you watch, with cash the same visit if you accept.
Scrap and broken gold we buy
- Broken or kinked chains, snapped clasps and bracelets with missing links
- Single earrings, bent or cracked rings, and rings with stones missing
- Yellow, white and rose gold, bought by karat like any other gold
- Dental gold: crowns, bridges and caps, brought in as they are
- Pieces with no stamp: a missing mark does not mean there is no gold, so we test them
No need to clean or sort anything first. Gold-filled and plated pieces (GF, GP, HGE, GEP) are tested free, but carry too little gold to buy by weight.
How we test scrap gold in front of you
The steps are the ones on our How We Test Gold page. Each piece goes on a calibrated jeweler's scale and is weighed in grams. Purity is checked with Sigma electronic testing, which reads the metal without damaging it, and acid testing confirms the karat when a stamp is worn, missing or does not match the reading. Magnet and stamp checks screen out obvious fakes. Stones, steel clasps and other non-gold parts are identified so you are paid on the gold itself; with dental gold, the porcelain is handled the same way.
Reading the stamp: karat and gold content
| Stamp you may see | Karat | Gold content |
|---|---|---|
| 10K or 417 | 10 karat | 41.7% |
| 14K or 585 | 14 karat | 58.5% |
| 18K or 750 | 18 karat | 75% |
| 22K or 916 | 22 karat | 91.7% |
| 24K or 999 | 24 karat | 99.9% |
Stamps are tiny and on old or repaired pieces they can be wrong, so the test, not the stamp, decides the karat we pay on.
Grams vs pennyweight
Some scrap buyers quote by the pennyweight (dwt) instead of the gram. One pennyweight is about 1.555 grams, and 20 pennyweight make one troy ounce (about 31.1 grams). We weigh and quote in grams, the default unit on our Gold Estimator, so you can run a ballpark first. If another buyer gives you a price per pennyweight, divide it by 1.555 before you compare it with a price per gram.
How the cash offer for scrap gold is figured
The offer is weight times purity times the day's gold market, minus our margin. A break does not lower the value of the gold a piece contains. We show you the scale reading and test result and explain the offer, and the appraisal is free if you say no. The market moves daily, so we post no fixed scrap price; use the estimator for a ballpark.
Same-day cash for gold: what to bring
Walk in to 2751 W Atlantic Blvd #101 with your gold and a valid government-issued photo ID. As a licensed Florida pawnbroker we write every purchase on a state transaction form: you must be 18 or older, the gold must be yours to sell, the person on the ID must be the person selling, and we take a thumbprint on the form. Gold coins or sterling silver mixed in? Bring it all; see the coins page and the Pompano Beach silver page.
Scrap and Broken Gold Questions
Is scrap gold worth money?
Yes. Scrap gold is valued on its gold content, so a broken 14K chain is priced on its weight in grams and its 58.5% purity; the break itself does not lower that. The parts that do not count toward the gold value are stones, steel clasps and springs, and plated or gold-filled metal.
Can I get same-day cash for gold in Pompano Beach?
Yes, the same visit. Bring the pieces and a government-issued photo ID, watch us weigh and test them, and if you accept the offer you are paid in cash before you leave.
Do you buy dental gold in Pompano Beach?
Yes. We buy gold crowns, bridges and caps at our shop on W Atlantic Blvd. We test the gold and pay for the gold content only, not the porcelain or other material attached to it.
How do I sell scrap gold without getting ripped off?
Know the karat and rough weight before you go, and compare offers in grams, not pennyweight. Sell only to a buyer who weighs and tests in front of you and explains the offer. Our appraisal is free, so you can take your gold home if the number does not work.
