Todays silver pickups

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago

So i have had a walk round the French markets today and i picked up a little wooden box with a silver lid. I bought the box to scrap as it had some damage to the leather, the silver is hallmarked 925 and a 350 mark which i believe is paladium plating on top of the silver.

The box and you can see the damage

I have taken the silver off the box and i will melt it into a little bar with some other scrap silver i have next week, the silver weighs just over 12 grams, so i paid about 60% of spot price.

I know it is a shame to scrap something so nice but with the damage to the leather it cannot be sold or repaired for a profit, hence why i scrapped it.

Sort:  

I agree with you. To the melt pot!
