Yes!

 

[Assembler]

Yes because of collector value of the size and maybe the shape of.

 

[Terry Soloman]

Yes to a newb, no to an experienced buyer - unless it is "figural." Nuggets of 3-grams or more begin to increase in value.

Get enough nuggets like this by crushing and it still adds up to something good. Good tip about ebay to start with.

Sometimes... If it looks like the Holy Mary or Mickey Mouse, you can get triple spot or more depending on the detail. If it looks like Hilary, you're better off melting it down...

If it looks like Hillary. it's probably fools gold

The nugget rarity chart works on a curve. Naturally, smaller nuggets are much more common and therefore have less of a rarity value. The curve does not significantly pick up until you get closer to 1/4 to 1/2 oz. That said, if it's of jewelry or specimen quality then value increases.
Ebay is a great resource for the seller because you can actually make higher than spot especially when selling smaller quantities. Buyers there are not as concerned with paying $15 over spot on a 1 gram nugget because it not an investment for them. its a collectible. I can sell a .1 gram picker worth $4 for $5 plus another buck profit on S&H and the buyer is happy as a tick on a fat dog. I would expect to get $55 to $60 for a 1 gram nugget on Ebay.
Selling on ebay can make you good money but the margins are small so you have to sell a lot to make it worth it. Selling on ebay is tedious and time consuming and the selling fees will eat about 10-12% or more depending on how you list it.

about $40 to $65 bucks to a collector at today's price to a collector.

a gold "buyer" won't pay more than $40

the answer to the original question: whatever is you can get.
I had 4 small South Yuba nugs weighing about 1.5 .dwt together..I got about 10% over spot from someone who picked me up hitchhiking. he wanted them for his terrarium and this guy was a miner as well. go figure.

the guy who buys my fines is fair, but I've seen him do one guy dirty. someone walked in with about a 10 .dwt specimen, really beautiful, a lot of quartz in the matrix. he gave the guy 60% of spot for it. I couldn't say anything, but I was thinking: you mother******.....I'm not bringing you anything more than my fines, ever.

gold is where you find it, so is the money.

When it comes to native Gold and the various type pieces it
turns up in .... worth is a relative term . As others said , there
is a technical value and then there is a subjective value .
You go to a pro type buyer and your looking at your worst
deal . You package it right and go to your local trade day kind
of events where it is face to face , dollar down , and you
could find yourself git'n ten times the technical value .

Or not ... Like I said .... it's subjective . I have done the trade
day thing before and did better than I thought I would just
putting pieces in a fairly cheap display case .
It's important to match the case to the piece . Don't put
a piece in a display that is to big for the piece . Don't put
a piece in a display to small trying to make it look better .
About a 50/50 area ratio is best . You also want to have more
than one piece on display . In example my pic below shows
a good ratio . The case is quarter size and the gold is 10.8 grains
or 0.71 grams . It also depends on what part of the country you live
in as well . I can get more for a packaged ten grain piece in Alabama
and Georgia than you will get in California or Alaska .
Merry Christmas .

My son regularly bids on nuggets on eBay and he doesn't bid over $40 a gram. He misses most bids but has won a few for $30+ a gram and once for $25 a gram.
He just won 16 grams, three nuggets for $ 35 a gram.
He's more patient than I am. I do the buy it now more often.
