A friend of mine sent about 150 lbs of pins into a refiner and came out with about 3.50 troy ounces. that was in the 90s when gold was arround 400.00 per oz

That's $28/pound at a $1200 spot. Your friend probably got cheated, especially if they were fully plated pins.


GSP - you took the word right out of my mouth because I was thinking the same thing :D

I've thought about doing this with my pins.

I just don't get WHY people pay so much for them. I mean, yeah, there's a sucker born every minute...but WOW.

Heck...melt in a virgin gram of gold to the lot with the guarantee of "this ingot contains AT LEAST 1 gram of gold.

Of course, you'd want to make sure the pins you are melting don't perform too well.
