About $1.00 a piece is what I have seen.
Is that yours?

Up for auction is 2.78 grams 24 karat 99.95 fine solid gold (+/- 0.02).
The scale shows 2.8 because it's only one decimal grade scale, the button weight in grain's is 43 which is 2.78 gram.
This gold was refined twice by me from e-scrap and GF jewelry.
What you see in the photo is what you get.
I'm sorry for the bad quality of the photo, it was taken by cellphone cam.
Might want to make these corrections.

I just took in my brass/copper/aluminum for recycling last week.Barren Realms 007 said:
in it was about 18 of those platters and I got just AL scrap for it
oh well I will know better next time. I have 6 hard drives at home that need to be torn down. :lol:
on the recycling I had been buying the metals at yardsales, total cost $31 for about 75# and I got $121
Speaking of yard sales, I was thinking (I know, I'm not suppose to) and I wonder about estate auctions. There are always boxes with misc in them, like gold plated jewelery, watches, etc. Usually these sell for near nothing.
If for recovery, they're not valuable anyway. I doubt if scratches will make much difference.
