Why Jacksonville Chooses Midwest Refineries
Many buyers advertise 98-99% payouts, then quietly add assay fees, treatment charges, brokering fees and handling costs, since no business truly runs on a 1-2% margin. Midwest Refineries charges none of that, zero fees, period. Orders under 3 troy ounces are purchased outright based on average after-melt weight loss and karat purity; 3 ounces or more are melted and assayed for exact content. Jacksonville customers receive 95% of pure gold content and 100% of spot price at settlement.
What We Buy From Jacksonville Customers
Karat jewelry, rings, chains, bracelets, wedding bands, coins and bars, dental gold, watches, nuggets, scrap gold, gold-filled items, gold solder, sponge, shot, sizing stock, alloys and bench sweeps. Gold-filled material is purchased outright at 15% of spot price per pound. Not accepted: gold-plated items, electronic scrap, magnetic gold-filled, gold-filled with 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 Jacksonville and Northeast Florida
From beachside estate sales in Ponte Vedra to antique shops along Riverside and San Marco, Jacksonville has a steady supply of gold jewelry, coins, and heirlooms passed down through generations near the St. Johns River. As Florida’s largest city by area, Jacksonville is also home to plenty of downsizing retirees and snowbirds with gold jewelry they no longer wear. Being in the same state as our refinery means Jacksonville sellers typically enjoy faster turnaround than customers shipping from farther away.
About Midwest Refineries Serving Jacksonville, FL
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.

Learn About 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. Between longtime Jacksonville families, retirees, and seasonal residents, it’s remarkable how much gold jewelry sits forgotten in local homes near the beach and the St. Johns River, waiting to be turned into cash. As a fellow Florida resident, we make that process quick and convenient.
