Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
DW has a 2 old gold crowns from the crematorium after her DM passed. They are just sitting in a drawer, might as well try to sell them now so the kids never have to mess with any of this. And it's kind of creepy.
I weighed them at ~ 10 grams, but there appears to be some tooth material in there (they are in a sealed package). I'll guestimate 8 g of gold? Current gold price is ~ $60/gram. My reading so far is since the karat rating would be unknown, I assumed 12K, and that brings you to ~ 8g*$30 = $240.
After their costs to determine K and melt and profit, not sure what to expect, but probably not much for a small amount like this. I don't want to put much work into this, as I doubt the difference will amount to much. I just want to get a decent price for little work. Is a local pawn shop a reasonable way to go, jeweler, or on-line?
