Purity
Gold and silver purity can vary, and the amount of precious metal contained in an item affects its value.
Weight
The amount of precious metal in an item is an important part of determining its value.
Current Market Prices
Gold and silver prices change over time, so current precious metal market conditions can affect an offer.
