Who pays the highest for gold & silver in Philadelphia?

[JerrySPsy]

Hi all,
New to this forum and was just wondering if anyone has done their homework and knows which places in Philadelphia pay the highest for gold and silver. I have a lot of sterling (and some gold) jewelry to scrap and want to get the best price for it.
Percentages paid for gold can be in the mid-nineties (%) but it seems unfair that the prices for silver seem to be between 75 and 80%. I understand that sterling is only 96.5% silver but the percentages are still low. Anyone know why this is?

Sterling is 92.5% silver.

There are some guys on here that may pay higher than anyone in Philly.
You would just have to ship and insure.

These two places are good;

It cost more money and time per ounce to process Ag than Au.
