How Much Is 500 Grams of 22K Gold Worth?
Estimates use the same USD spot basis as our calculators. Not financial advice, not a purchase offer, and not a guarantee of what any buyer will pay.
Bulk weights are usually multiple items or near-bullion lots. Inventory and sorting help you avoid blended offers and make quote comparisons fair.
For bulk selling, refineries and established online buyers can pay higher percentages than walk-in cash offers—at the cost of time.
