<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 1621935, member: 18304&quot;]Although you may have to actually be a miner to appreciate the value/rarity of a natural piece, I have yet to visit a coin shop or coin show where natural gold wasn&#039;t offered and there is usually someone around (not out to lunch, ha ha) that understands how it is traded. If you bring any gold into a dealing situation, most likely someone will want to buy it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its simple guys.... </p><p>A small piece (under 25 grams IMO) that is unattractive or &quot;globby&quot; will most likely trade at its melt value which is 80% purity on average. </p><p><br /></p><p>A piece that is larger and has an interesting shape or texture will usually bring spot plus 5-20% depending on what kind of deal can be struck. </p><p><br /></p><p>Crystaline gold specimens or pieces 3-5+ Oz can be be much north of that on rarity alone and these &quot;super&quot; nugget pieces sell at levels that don&#039;t really apply to most of us and are displayed at casinos or museums. </p><p><br /></p><p>Worked over or improved pieces are mostly easy to identify but still sell for the 80%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now tell me how this is all that much different that buying and selling coins.</p><p>Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
