Does anyone here have recommendations on selling dental gold? I have 2 very old large dental crowns from molars I am looking to sell. There is still dental cement inside the crowns. I was reading they can be anywhere from 10-22 kt. The color looks like they are on the higher kt.

I have a few too. The average is 16k.

Lots of coin dealers buy dental gold. I imagine the barbers and others with “we buy gold” signs won’t pay nearly as much as reputable dealers. Also, it should be fairly easy to sell the gold at certain coin shows.

Back in my stock broker days I had a client who had been a dentist. Many of his patients didn’t want their used fillings, so he threw them into something like a coffee can. After a bunch of years he said he sold the contents to a dealer for $10k or so. This was when gold was around $300-400/oz. One man’s trash...

My Uncle Joe (RIP) had many gold teeth. When he got them all replaced with realistic looking false teeth, he kept the gold. He gave all that gold to me when I was a teen. I still have them. Pretty heavy too.

I sold my gold crowns online to ReDollar, that still had cement and parts of my tooth in one. They weighed 7.32 grams with the cement and tooth inside. They weighed 6.31 grams with just the crown. They were 60% (14k and 52% 12k gold. I just received my check for $185.69. Process was easy. I filled out a form online and they sent me a shipping label sheet for postage paid shipping to them. They asked if they could remove the cement and tooth to get the proper weight and assays and I said yes. Then they gave me a fair offer. They asked how I wanted paid, PayPal etc, and I chose check. I would recommend.
