Bullion gold, silver and copper any idea of valuation?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Have found in an old box from years and years ago some bits and bobs I bought that I no longer know much about it I’m honest! I have what is probably 6-8 (?) grams of gold leaf, 7 (very small) USA liberty fractional pieces of gold and an 1852 fractional California gold piece too, plus a silver and copper bar. Please see pics.

Being totally honest not entirely sure what any of it is worth over and above perhaps spot, so if anyone has any pearls of wisdom please do feel free to get in touch.

Might want to consider this thread being moved chap and seek opinion on prices then post a sales thread. Forum rules for sales are prices must be stated. 

Love the copper bar btw and when you do sell GLWS 

Thanks for that - yes I should probably move it - do you know how I do that? Or will admin automatically move? 😊

The silver Buffalo bar £25 or there abouts 

The gold coins I'm not sure as the pictures aren't great.

I wonder if the buffalo bar is magnetic.

I'm not sure about any of it, but I think I might be if the photos were better, much better.

It would be good to see pictures of the other sides of the 7 yellow coloured things.

How much for 1oz copper bar? 

What is on those bags? shaving? of what? 

At least it is probably genuine copper.

The yellow stuff in the bags is not gold leaf!

They are making me curious, 

Probably need a better camera/more daylight for better pictures and maybe weigh them? Check diameter and thickness and check Google with your findings. 

Do you remember what you paid? Or even where you acquired?

What date is on them? I can make out MCM but nothing else.

Hi James. It says MCMVII. Some coins the VII is not as visible due to wear and tear I guess. Was advised to drop them into water and they sunk…? Not sure how scientific or helpful that is though!

Thats 1907....Brass would sink too though, whilst you have the water out... check YouTube for @BackyardBullion specific gravity test.

Nope. Will sunk indifferent of what metal is.

A specific gravity test will not help too much, because the coins/tokens are too small and it is impossible to have very accurate results with a generic cheap scale.

The best way it is to check them at a pawn shop/jeweller to see first if they are gold ant what purity.

The golden stuffs, I don't think is gold. The easiest way to check is to put a drop of acid test (can be the cheapest one from Ebay for 9ct) on a small quantity of leaves. If nothing is happening it is gold. If will burn green or yellow, it is not.

Thanks - will take them to a pawn/jewellers next time I’m out and about! As for the leaf - would vinegar work or does it have to be a specific acid?
