What a buyer pays for 14K gold
A shop pays less than melt value because it has to test the metal, refine or resell it, and make a profit. Buyers usually pay 60% to 85% of melt value. A small gap is normal. A big gap means you should ask a second shop. Coins and signed pieces can be worth more than their gold, so ask before anything is sold as scrap.
