Was at a yard sale and found this. 4.1 oz of silver. Paid 5 for it. Thinking for melting it down. http://instagram.com/p/C48Uw0yLXEj

It’s probably worth more to someone than just bullion value. The hard part is to find somebody to pay more. It’s a cool piece.

If engraved, given the amount of work, I have to believe that the engraver surely would have cut his or her name or initials into the back.

It's a really nice buckle. It would be a shame to melt it down.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

That's a nice piece & the craftsmanship put into it should make it a crime. At $5 you got a nice art piece to display, or I wonder if you could repurpose it into a bola tie. Patty

I think you would get more out of it as a really nice belt buckle.

But if I melt it down, I can make 10 to 15 rings at 100 each. I can have more stock to sell at show.
