Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about testing and identifying gold

How do I test if gold is real with this app?

Open Gold Scanner, take a clear photo of the item including any visible hallmarks or stamps, and the AI will analyze it for authenticity. The fake gold detector evaluates surface characteristics, hallmark consistency, color, and weight cues to flag likely plated, gold-filled, or counterfeit pieces in seconds.

Can the app identify gold karat (24K vs 22K vs 18K vs 14K vs 10K)?

Yes. Gold Scanner is built as a karat checker for the full common range — 24K, 22K, 18K, 14K and 10K. It cross-references visible stamps (999, 916, 750, 585, 417), color tone, and hallmark patterns to estimate purity, then converts to fineness or millesimal scale on request.

What gold hallmarks and maker marks can it identify?

The hallmark identifier recognizes common purity stamps (24K, 22K, 18K, 14K, 10K, 999, 916, 750, 585, 417), country assay marks, designer and maker stamps, and date letters. It works across jewelry, coins, bars, and antique pieces from major gold-producing regions.

How accurate is the gold value estimate?

Gold Scanner pulls live market spot prices and combines them with detected karat purity and weight to produce an estimated USD value. Estimates are accurate enough for quick triage and resale comparison, but for insurance, pawn loans, or legal appraisal we recommend confirming with a certified precious metals expert.

Does it work on jewelry, coins, and gold bars?

Yes. The app handles gold rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants, bullion coins, collectible coins, and gold bars. Each scan returns purity, hallmark notes, condition grade, and an estimated market value tailored to the item type.

Is Gold Scanner free?

Gold Scanner is free to download on the App Store. The app includes optional in-app purchases (Weekly $4.49, Yearly $44.99, Lifetime $49.99) that unlock unlimited scans and advanced collection management. Core gold testing and karat detection can be tried for free.
