My guess for the 2550 pins about 30-50 dollars total on a good day

Thanks for your input. So this panel is about 36" tall and 22" wide, and "pin" would not be the way I would describe them Each gold plated piece is about 7/16" long and about 1/4" wide by maybe 20 gauge thick. As I calculate there are 4896 individual pieces. I have attached a better view of the pieces.

Gold contacts are rare these days; gold-plated ones are mostly used, and even then not everywhere; it’s a different matter if it was used in the military industry of the Cold War era
