Understanding Platinum Value
Why Platinum is So Valuable
Platinum is one of the rarest metals on Earth. All the platinum ever mined would fit in an average living room. It's:
- 30x rarer than gold
- Heavier and denser than gold
- Used in jewelry, catalytic converters, and medical equipment
- Hypoallergenic and extremely durable
How to Identify Platinum
Platinum jewelry is usually stamped with:
- PT or PLAT: indicates platinum
- 950: 95% pure platinum (most common)
- 900: 90% pure platinum
- 850: 85% pure platinum

Where to Sell Platinum in Central New Jersey
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post buys platinum jewelry, dental platinum, and industrial platinum scrap at 6 locations in East Brunswick, New Brunswick, Middlesex, Millstone, Brick, and Manalapan. Platinum is approximately 30 times rarer than gold, and annual global production averages only about 190 metric tons compared to roughly 3,300 metric tons for gold. That scarcity drives platinum spot prices that frequently exceed $900 per troy ounce.
We use portable XRF analyzers to confirm platinum purity within seconds, distinguishing PT950 (95% pure) from PT900 and PT850 alloys. As a licensed NJ precious metals dealer, we pay same-day cash based on verified weight and the current London Platinum Fix. More than 10,000 customers have sold precious metals at our locations across Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean counties.
Platinum Rings, Dental Scrap, and Settings Accepted
The most common platinum items we see are wedding bands and engagement ring settings. A typical platinum wedding band weighs between 8 and 12 grams, and at PT950 purity that translates to significant value at current spot prices. Dental platinum is another frequently overlooked source of value. Old crowns and bridgework often contain platinum-palladium alloys that test at 40% to 60% platinum content.
We also buy platinum watch cases, broken platinum chains, and laboratory crucibles. If you're unsure whether an item is platinum or white gold, visit any of our 6 locations for a free XRF test. White gold contains no platinum, and the difference in value per gram is substantial.
How Platinum Pricing Works
Our platinum pricing ties directly to the London Platinum and Palladium Market (LPPM) fix, updated twice daily. When you bring in a platinum ring, our appraiser first uses an XRF spectrometer to determine exact purity. The item then goes on a certified digital scale calibrated in troy ounces and grams.
The offer is calculated by multiplying verified platinum weight by the current LPPM spot price, minus a transparent processing margin the appraiser explains before making an offer. We don't use acid scratch tests on platinum because XRF gives a non-destructive reading accurate to within 0.1% purity. You leave with same-day cash and a printed receipt showing weight, purity, spot price, and final payout.
