Here is a case where the basic intrinsic value of the item far outweighs the value as an artifact. 30 or 40 ounces .999 troy is A LOT!

So 15% gold would mean 15% 1.000 gold.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bear in mind that this is from a hard core, died in the wool, lifelong Antiquer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
