50%Gold + 50%Copper Alloy Flatware

By SSmith, 23 April, 2010
Description

My dad has been trying to find a reasonable buyer for this remarkably odd and beautiful set of flatware. We have had it tested at 4 different places.Three different places told us that the set deffinately had gold in it,yet they couldnt tell what other kind of metal was with it. Two people at the last place concured that these were 50%Gold/50%Copper alloy. the problem is that it would be very hard to extract only the gold. A good buyer would have a great enjoyment for luxury and oddity, or would be willing to destroy this set trying to extract the ounces of gold that are in it.
