Gotta love estate tag sales, yard sales, and auctions. This weekend yielded 106.50 spent with $823.00 estimated return.

Gonna melt that junk and spend my loot on a sweetass coin.

Boots on the ground. Go to every estate tag sale, yard sale, and auction you can. Look at everything gold colored with a loupe. When you think your done look at everything again. I am pretty darn thorough and still I am amazed at how much I don't catch first pass.

Do you melt it yourself or do you mean send it to a refiner?

That depends on spot and my material needs. I can cook but I do not assay.
