Scrap Silver Gathering Day
So with just weeks before im stateside, its time to gather all the scrap silver items I managed to find over the course of the past three years. Then tomorrow off to scrap man..
Items range from broken jewelry pieces to melted switch contacts(98% purity) to an big old fruit plate, oh and yes silver grind powder too. Purities range from 800 all the way up to 980 and even some French Minerva 950 hallmark or 95% pure silver.
Total 1.3 kilo or around 45 Oz. Scrap man pays spot - 20% or in this case because of the variety of different purities its spot -30%.
That is a great stash of scrap silver. Around here in Kentucky it is really hard to find. Good job finding it.
Yeah, lots of markets and keen eyes for that hidden silver and offcourse some luck
I don't think I could bear to let the fruit plate go as scrap. It still looks nice enough to collect!
You can't see well in the pic, but it has some hairline cracks in the folds, But still it was a difficult one to let go.
I still would think it'd be worth more as a decorative piece than you could ever get for scrap. Of course, I could be wrong. Scrap is the fast, easy money though, so it's all a matter of how fast you want your money out of it. I cringe at old silver being scraped though unless it's just not usable.
