<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1039248, member: 15199&quot;]Lucyray, perhaps definitions vary a little, but to me bullion is specific as to weight and purity, whereas &quot;junk&quot; has to be tested and validated perhaps by a chemical reaction, specific gravity test, authorized hallmarks, etc. Often &quot;junk&quot; is greatly downgraded due to risk of it being a lower grade than marked and such.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bullion, whether an Englehard bar or a Credit Suisse, or coins issued by a government generally are what they say they are, except in the rare case of counterfeit. SO a ASE or AGE should trade based on spot and markup, a silver candlestick or a gold watch, although beautiful to the eye, might be classified as &quot;junk&quot; with a larger deduction if traded at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
