Why Atlanta Chooses Midwest Refineries
Many self-proclaimed “top dollar” gold buyers advertise paying 98% or 99% of value, then quietly deduct refining fees, assay charges, and handling costs. Midwest Refineries takes a different approach: we charge zero fees, period. Orders under 3 troy ounces are purchased outright based on average after-melt weight loss and karat purity, while orders of 3 troy ounces or more are melted and assayed for exact content. Atlanta customers are paid 95% of the pure gold content, plus 100% of that day’s market spot price when your order settles.
What We Buy From Atlanta Customers
We purchase karat gold jewelry, rings, chains, bracelets and wedding bands, gold coins and bars, dental gold crowns and bridgework, watches, nuggets and placer gold, broken and scrap gold, gold-filled items, solder, sponge and shot, and bench sweeps and filings. Gold-filled material is purchased outright at 15% of the spot price per pound. We do not accept gold-plated material, gold electronic scrap, magnetic gold-filled items, or gold-filled material containing stainless steel.
Have Questions?
Call us before you ship — we’ll explain how your material will be tested and what to expect. For security reasons, we do not accept walk-in traffic — all precious metals must be shipped to us using our shipping instructions.
Serving Metro Atlanta and Beyond
From the historic jewelry counters along Peachtree Street to estate sales in Sandy Springs, Decatur, and Marietta, Atlanta has long been home to gold jewelry passed down and often forgotten in safety deposit boxes. Metro Atlanta’s active antique and estate markets mean plenty of unwanted gold changes hands here every year. Rather than accepting a lowball local offer, Atlanta sellers can ship directly to our Florida refinery for a fair, assay-verified payout.
About Midwest Refineries
Midwest Refineries has operated as a full-service precious metal buyer, smelter, refiner, assayer and broker since 1939. After 86 years based in Michigan, we relocated our headquarters to Lakeland, Florida in 2025, now led by second-generation owners Joanna and Raul Acosta. We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and Atlanta customers can count on the same honesty and no-fee pricing that has defined our company for more than eight decades.
What the Numbers on Your Gold Jewelry Mean
The stamp on your gold jewelry indicates karat purity: 10K equals 41.7% pure gold, 14K equals 58.3% pure gold, 18K equals 75% pure gold, and 24K equals 99.9% pure gold. It’s amazing how much gold jewelry Atlanta residents have sitting in drawers and jewelry boxes that they never wear and could sell instead.
How to Sell Your Gold From Atlanta
Selling is simple: package your gold securely, ship it to our Lakeland, Florida refinery using our shipping instructions, and our team will weigh, assay, and settle your order promptly. It is not necessary to remove gemstones from karat jewelry or enamel from dental gold, as these are handled safely during the melting process. Payment can be made by check, bank wire ($35 domestic fee, $60 international fee), gold, silver or platinum bars, coins and rounds, or any combination of these options. There’s no minimum amount and no order too large.
