<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RGJohn777, post: 787066, member: 22102&quot;]<b>Seems reasonable</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that initially the figure seems disappointingly low. But consider that the &#039;block&#039; you refer to could be quite heavy. So much &#039;weighted&#039; sterling is just rubbish covered with a thin sheet of silver. I&#039;ve broken apart knives and various candy dishes etc ( and it&#039;s a nasty and dangerous business to do so, wear goggles and big leather gloves!) only to find that the remaining amount of actual sterling was very small indeed.</p><p>&nbsp;You can negotiate a bit too. Perhaps they will come up to 66 2/3 %. Then your field calculations are simpler when buying.</p><p>Good luck!</p><p>--------</p><p>&nbsp; The deal playin4funami witnessed is a good example. Here the gal had some .999 she sold at the same time as her sterling. Maybe that&#039;s why she was able to get 80% as she only received 90% for her .999. Dealers gotta eat too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
