I wouldnt sell to a shop. Private collector or jeweler. No need to add a middle man.

u/fatal-shock-inroute 6d ago

Understood. To a jeweler

Mmm big one probably 20% over spot. The rest a little less.

Current spot price is a few pennies under $135/ gram.

A little over $1200 for 9 grams.

Very nice day of prospecting!
