Sell Your Gold, Silver & More
Salem’s local experts in Gold and Precious Metals
The JCR Experience
Our team is here to help you feel confident and supported when selling your precious metals. At JCR Gold Exchange, we make the process clear, simple, and transparent, no matter your experience level.
Our Process
Sort by purity
Our process begins with a simple magnet test. Pieces with clasps, springs, or wires require additional scrutiny. Next, we meticulously inspect purity stamps and markings, categorizing your items based on karat marks to determine their likely purity levels.
Karat Validation
To verify the purity of your gold, we conduct an acid test and, when applicable, a electromagnetic resonance test. These tests preserve the integrity of your precious metals while also providing accurate karat validation.
Weigh & Price
After the exact purity of your metals are confirmed, we weigh using state certified and calibrated scales to determine the value of your items. At JCR Gold Exchange, we pride ourselves in transparency and accuracy for fair compensation.
