I swung by this coin shop that very often has unique things other than coins. The owner pulled this out and said what you think of this. It's made of gold and diamonds. It has a floppy eared dog with a crown. What's really special is the pull chain on the back. You pull it and the eyes and mouth of the dog open. I never had a chance to inquire about it as more customers came in and me getting a text from home asking where are you, because I'm supposed to be running by the grocery store, instead of horsing around looking at stuff like this, I didn't wait to see what he's asking for it. He's gonna want more than his 20% over spot on jewelry for it, but I might go back and see what I can get it for. Got feeling he's gonna try and get 4 or 5 times the actual weight out of this piece. He's a young fella and when he first opened I was paying around 10% over spot on his jewelry, but as time went on he got wise to me and others who know some of what he obtained is worth way over spot value. Good thing is he's still reasonable, but he does do his research more now. I just can't believe some of the things people sell him for scrap.
