Little sterling today.

This was at a small charity shop. 3 bucks was good deal. It's in nice condition and no doubt has more in scrap value than 3 dollars. I've sold these kind of things on eBay before, but the way freight is today buyers there don't give more than my local PM buyer and he won't pay his best unless it's de-weighted. I think I'll just put it away for now, but the pm dealer only deals in cash both in buying and selling, so he's often good for a trade on his merchandise and buying this stuff cheap is a good way to trade up something cool he may have, even though he charges spot plus on his jewelry. I've gotten 2 or 3 pieces of Georg Jensen pieces out of him that really didn't cost me that much, because he excepts whatever scrap pm as currency. It's a great way to trade up and maybe score from him something that's really worth more, as he doesn't spend a lot of time researching everything that comes in his shop for cash.

That's a really nice $3 buy, Tamrock. Good eye! Be a shame to scrap it.

I know, but sometimes I think this kind of stuff would be better sent away to a refiner, melted down and given a new life as something more desirable. From my experience crushing and cashing has been the least aggravating way to make good on these types of sterling objects.

That’s a nice little buy for 3 bucks. I’ve picked up a few of those types over the years myself. Well done!

Precious metals items started being re-melted almost as soon as the first pieces were made. I don't have any problem sending a piece like this to the refiner. It's mass produced and won't sell for enough over scrap to cover the time & effort required to sell it as an intact piece. That's without counting the risk of spot price fluctuations.
