Figuring around $1200.00/troy oz and 27 grams $400.00-$500.00 is about right I would check other places though. Keep in mind none of the dealers are going to give you actual spot price, because they have to pay fees to have it melted down & such, and they want to make money themselves. You could save it, and wait for spot price to go up, also the more weight you have, the better price you will probably get, so keep fishing for more. Foiled Again

Most buyers pay around 80% of spot from what I understand. See if you can find a local jeweler  who is buying scrap to recast and you might get 90 to 95 percent. That's who I deal with and he buys stones at a fair price. Plus if he is going to just polish and resale as is he pays more then spot he is pretty honest that way
