The pins were also gold plated on the inside. I failed to mention that in the auction. However a small time refiner purchased mine and claimed to reclaim 1%. So out of the 455 grams of pins he claimed to separate 4.5 grams of gold. If that is the case then there is more profit in these pins refining them rather than selling on
ebay. I have sold several pounds and the auctions bring in anywhere from 100 to 167.
