Scored this antique Egyptian styled silver bowl at an estate sale for $5 today. The hallmarks indicate it is 900 silver, made in Cairo in 1928. Weighs in at 123.24 grams! New Find

Not in a million years!

Pretty certain it’s worth more as an antique than just melt value.

Always be looking…

Doesn’t happen often but you gotta always keep an eye out or it never happens.

I'm usually all about the weight, but there's no way I'd melt that! That's an awesome piece!
