Common questions

Questions about Pd950 palladium value.

How do you calculate the melt value of Pd950 palladium?

Subtract stones and other non-palladium parts from the total weight, multiply the remaining 950 palladium weight by 0.95, then multiply by the price of pure palladium per gram.

What does a Pd950 or 950 Pd mark mean?

A Pd950 or 950 Pd mark means the item is represented as 950 parts palladium per thousand, or 95% palladium. The mark is useful evidence, but it is not a substitute for testing when the value is significant.

Is melt value the same as a buyer's offer?

No. Melt value estimates the palladium contained in the item. A dealer or refiner may pay less, and testing, refining, shipping, tax, and selling costs can reduce the amount received.
