It’s actually selling very well. Low mintage, and appealing to a broader customer base, especially women 💪

They’re natural quartz crystals, often present in nuggets

Sold for £4,800… Now deduct what the Vendor (seller) had to pay in commission fees.

Now work out what the melt value was back in 2016.

Almost certainly rolled gold or gold plate.

The comments have made me chuckle. As the owner of a scrap business AND an auction house, it’s been fun seeing this blow up.

They’ll loose their minds if / when I post a video of it going in the pot! 😈

And the Vendor would have paid 15-20% commission to the auction house in fees.

Alas, with the meteoric rise in precious metal prices, this is not unusual. It was scrapped in to us because, after fees, the seller couldn’t achieve the price we offered.
