401Gold as a gold dealer and jewelry buyer only uses scales which are legal for trade in Canada and are certified by Measurements Canada for being accurate down to 0.001 grams so that you always get paid in full for all your precious metals.
Most cash for gold bullion and jewellery buyers in Toronto use corrosive acids and scratch tests to determine the approximate purity of your precious metals, which are all harmful to your pieces.
Instead of damaging your items, 401Gold uses non-destructive XRF spectrometers that do not cause any damage to your precious metals and are incredibly accurate at determining the purity of each metal. These machines tell us what your metal is on the surface only.
For larger items such as bullion or silver serving dishes, we use this much larger XRF
To see what's going on inside your items, we use a density tester that can determine the density of the metals being tested, with the results showing a clear picture of whether or not you item is real or fake.
Fake bullion beware, this GVS Bullion tester tells us exactly what's going on inside any bullion with exceptional accuracy, which lets us identify real bullion from forgeries very quickly.
We even use this tester on jewellery, and it easily spots fakes with ease.
