Admin nuggethunting Posted September 25, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hello All, A good friend found this nugget and is curious what today's value would be on it. Several years ago he was offered $4,500.00 and it wasn't etched, still pretty dirty. He recently sent a picture to a gold collector and the collector said pieces like that have sold for as much as $10,000 in the past. The piece is roughly 4.4 ounces and is solid gold besides the small quartz knob on one end. The owner was thinking of selling the piece to a collector that would love to have a piece of Rich Hill gold. He was thinking somewhere between what he was originally offered and what the collector said pieces like this have sold for. Any thoughts? Any one interested in this piece for their personal collection? Below are three pictures of the nugget. The pictures don't do the nugget justice; you almost have to see it in person to see the true beauty. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 My opion, is that 7-8 thousand would not be out of line. Gold is worth, what ever someone is willing to pay for it at the time. A specimen like that, spot has no bearing on the price. Every nugget is a one of a kind.

djui5 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Might have him ask the Arizona Museum of Mines and Minerals what they'd give for it. They're in downtown Phoenix. I was just there today, and they've got a hell of a place That's a hell of a specimen if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 That's quite a piece! Is that how it looked when it came out of the ground? I mean was the rest of the rock/quartz dissolved with some chemical or just cleaned of stains and dirt? Yup, it belongs in a museum...
