What is Gold Melt Value?

- •Evaluate gold investment opportunities
- •Assess insurance values for gold jewelry
- •Compare offers from gold buyers
Gold Melt Formula
G = M × (Q/100) × P
- G: Value of gold in possession
- M: Mass/weight of the gold
- Q: Quality/purity of gold (percentage)
- P: Price per unit mass of gold
Note: Pure gold (24K) melts at 1,945°F (1,063°C). A propane torch is needed for home melting, as cooking fires only reach ~700°F.
