Ty for the video..a women approached me today at Goodwill with 2 gold pieces marked 18K and wanted 200$..luckily I had no cash to fall for her scam

Ahhh yes, everyone new to silver plate will stumble on one of these and think it's 800 pure. WM Rogers 800 is very common. As the other commentor mentioned, green is copper not silver. I like that you saw the copper and thought silver, but only on something with 800 silver, if its 20% copper, you still might see some green on it, but that was a bit too much green for my liking.

I bought one of these off a non English girl at a petrol station. She wanted a £10 for petrol. This was 10 years ago or more, when the buy your gold envelopes where coming through the post. So I didn’t have £10. But feeling sorry for her I offered £5 which I kept in back of phone for emergency. It was like yours but bigger and heavier, can’t remember exact weight but if real would be worth £300 I later discovered. Gave it to wife to take to stall in town that buys gold. Verdict - fake. So a little jewellers had just opened out of town, so for a laugh I took it on Saturday. Saw the wife. She weighed it and offered me £150. But didn’t have any money at the time, could I come back when her husband was there. So the next Saturday I went in, very nervous, bloke weighed it, said ok, gave me £150.

picked up a 1634 London silver Seal top spoon at a thrift store for $5. Thrift stores are probably the best place to find rare spoons at a cheap price.
@ThriftingWealth Ай бұрын
Yes exactly, I would say that most of my cutlery is from them and yes sometimes I find amazing and rare pieces. Most stores don't know what to look for, don't know the costs and or how rare it is so I would say it's the best and easy way to hunt and I would put a garage sale in the second place. PS. Thanks for sharing.

@ThriftingWealth Ай бұрын
Hi, yes that is correct. Most people in NA are going for the 14k some will be good for 18k and very few will have 20k+, based on what I have seen most printed from Asia and China will go for a minimum of 18k+ but best will be considered as 20k+ and 22k+ so yeah.

Good question. Based on just the gold in it it's worthless, but if it's a good design or a well known brand there are some collectors out there who could be interested, also people who are not looking to spend a lot of money on gold but try to get nice fine piece of jewelry also could be interested. I would try to sell it. Go on well used online markets and see what is selling and what is sold look for 18kgp and see what you will find.

The cost would be based on the collector who will buy it. I do not think it's a high value. I paid several dollars for this one. If your peace is collectible and has some provenance / history that is known and recorded or belongs to somebody who is known, it may cost more. Where did you get it from?
