There’s a new Gold Teeth Rush sweeping the nation
More people than ever selling gold dental work in a down Economy
As people struggle to pay bill and put food on the table in this economic downturn, pawn shops and estate jewelry dealers are seeing in influx of those looking to cash in their gold caps, fillings and grills. For years, many hung onto old gold dental work as souvenirs but now they are making the most of gold’s near record prices and selling up.
Four years ago it was a major nationwide trend in major US cities to get gold teeth, now a lot of those sparkling dentured customers are cashing in to survive. Celebrities with specialized mouths are worth big bucks. Stars like Diddy, Lil Wayne, Flava Flav or Nelly are wanted for their teeth as much as their CD’s by fans and jewelers.
Mark Porcello of Porcello Estate Buyers is a 50-year and third generation family jewelry business that is seeing a wave of customers looking to trade in their old teeth since the price of gold spiked in February.
“Selling your gold teeth and crowns is an excellent way to bring in a little extra money for you and your family in these troubled financial times” says Mark. But he also cautions “Don’t sell to just anyone. Make sure you do your research and find someone you can trust who will work with your gold in an honest and professional way.”
There are two types of gold teeth: removable teeth known as caps, grills and gold dental crowns, both of which are sellable. Gold teeth can fetch thousands depending on how much they weigh.
In the past eight years the price of gold has gone up four times its worth at an estimated 300% since 2000. Prices in the past weeks fluctuated between $970 and $940 an ounce. Gold is called a crisis metal because the price rises in a bad economy.
There are people like Cash Money Records CEO/CO-Founder Bryan “Baby” Williams, aka Birdman that had a $250,000 platinum with white gold-plated, diamond-encrusted crowns replaced with a $500,000 set of 18-karat white gold with some platinum-crowns set with ascher-cut diamonds.
