With more than 25 years of experience, Manhattan Gold & Silver is respected across the nation as a fast and capable gold refiner. We recycle a wide range of precious metal materials in any amount. Our furnaces can even melt down platinum (melting point: 3214.9 °F) with ease. When new customers reach out to us for precious metals refining, we are always asked “what can you accept?” While it’s true we have a few exceptions, we do service many industries and accept many kinds of precious metal products.

The businesses we most commonly service include pawnbrokers, jewelers, dentists, industrial companies, and antique dealers. As such, some of the precious metal items we commonly refine are:

 

  • Jewelry
  • Fillings
  • Polishing material
  • Industrial byproducts
  1. Aerospace components
  2. Military
  • Gold bullion, including
  1. Canadian Maple Leaves
  2. American Eagles
  3. Liberty Heads

As you can see, there are many types of precious metal scrap we can refine. However, we do not accept alluvial gold, electronic scrap, or mined materials from Africa. If you have any other questions about our refining methods or how much we can pay you for your lot, contact us today.

What Do Pawnbrokers and Dentists Have in Common?

19. May 2011 04:28

A pawnbroker and a dentist each walk into Manhattan Gold & Silver… Sound like the beginning of a joke?  Well it’s not. It’s a fact of doing work that results in scrap metals. The only value such metals have to most businesses is through refining them for cash. Otherwise, the precious metals will remain useless, sitting around collecting dust.

At Manhattan Gold & Silver we help our clients recover the value of the scrap precious metals that accumulate as a result of their trades—whether they are pawnbrokers, dentists or in other professions.

While those two fields couldn’t seem to be more dissimilar, they, along with jewelers, make up a large portion of our overall client base. Every day, since 1985, we have serviced clients with lots big and small and payouts based on the London Daily Fixing.

Although it may not appear so on the surface, the business process and needs of pawnbrokers and dentists really aren’t that disparate and the two do share some overlaps. Here at Manhattan Gold & Silver, we’re happy to work with both and turn their industrial residue into cash for their businesses.
