Found a 14k gold ring, beat to hell and run over and flattened. Where to cash it in?

any cash for gold place will do, but they will try and jerk you if you dont know what you're talking about.

you need to know the market price, and the recent market history when they try to argue trends. also, they need to test it and weigh it in front of you, and make sure to ask if they weigh grams or pennyweight. it makes a difference as a pennyweight it about 1.5grams, but they will offer you some price that sounds good (if it were price per gram).

i havent sold much gold in a number of years, but watch a video of gold testing on youtube like this one:





and then be ready to negotiate and walk away to the next shop. any jeweler will buy it too, and they all want ID. if they dont ask for ID, they are shady... which means their prices are probably low.
