Scrap Platinum Prices UK
Our scrap platinum rates for Thursday 10 October.
Before 1975, there was no requirement for an item of jewellery containing platinum to be hallmarked and no common standard regarding purity. Therefore, older pieces of jewellery may simply have 'plat', 'pt' or 'platinum' markings. These pieces will need to be tested by us to determine the platinum content.
There are now four accepted levels of purity for platinum, as shown in the table on the right.
Typical items we purchase that contain platinum include:
- wedding, engagement and eternity rings
- platinum watches
- platinum coins and bullion
- industrial and scientific items such as platinum crucibles & thermocouple wire.
We accept all purities of platinum. Our platinum prices are the same for hallmarked and non-hallmarked items. Testing is usually completed on the day of receipt and for customers who elect to have payment into their bank account, funds are transferred by 6 pm on the same day.
