Ounce of gold

Does anyone know how much Jewelers (or other places that buy gold) will buy for? Today the ounce is about 1325, how much discount would they buy for? By the way, the pieces are not sealed and may have very minor dings/scratched. Thanks.

Jewelers buy scrap gold, far less than spot.

What kind of gold are you selling? My coin dealer buys gold for spot and sells for +4% over spot.

one ounce Gold bar, about $1,250-1,275 in mint/flawless condition, less if it's dinged up

When I sold some scrap I received 90% of melt value. They want to give much less of course.
