I had a Dentist tell me my crown was only worth $1.50! I know it weighs 3gms. and 85% pure.

AND HOW MUCH DID HE CHARGE YOU FOR IT?

I'll backup the dental gold impurities! The funeral director told me that my father's gold teeth weren't worth the price of having the dentist remove them.

True. A cap worth $35 would cost more than that to remove professionally. But honestly, once they're dead, does it need to be a dentist?

Well, first thing is, the dentist would have to make a house...er, home....er, funeral home call So right there he'd be charging out-of-office rates. No doubt there would be "additional charges".

Easy to get at if one is cremated.

This thread has turned creepy. But I do know there is more than $1.50 in a precious metal dental crown. Three grams at 85% is at least $100. Or close. Maybe silver amalgam.

Better believe that if a certain very volatile presidential candidate is elected in November -gold will go way up

With any luck both will happen. Speaking of dental gold, I dug
a gold crown not too long ago myself.

Actually they are normally 10-14 karat.

Actually...

The gold commonly used in dentistry has a karat value ranging anywhere from 10 to 22...
And on average the typical gold dental crown is about 16 karat.

The older the dental gold... generally the "purer" it is...
The old days most was 22k...
And 20.

This might as well be unobtanium. All the gold ever mined would fill just ONE Olympic size swimming pool. It may be 4 times harder than any other metal but if there is not enough gold to actually make a useful amount of the alloy it falls under unobtanium.

This election is going to have far more effect on the price of gold than anything else right now.

I'm just worried about everything else that will come with said price fluctuations. Either way, we cannot stay on the course we're on now. To try would be insane.

I'm not saying who I'm voting for, cause that would be talking politics - and that's against the Tnet rules. ...So let's just say I like Treasure_Hunter's "sometimes"-signature line an awful lot!

I keep telling my son that I want him to pop my gold crowns out of my mouth once I've passed on....preferably during the wake, just for the humor and horror value!
