Rather than being paid on the outer appearance, the assay finds the actual value of the precious metals inside.

Things can still go wrong for you on assay without a trusted partner: 

  • Settling on an inaccurate or manipulated sample or assay result
  • Losing weight during processing and refining
  • Having too much trash or moisture
  • Paying exorbitant recycling costs
  • Heavily discounted selling of metal
  • Lack of transparency, concealing hidden fees, and handling errors
