Hi. This seemed like the only appropriate thread to ask this question. I have been given an old set of Harrington brass Sovereign scales. They seem to work fine and correspond with a coin that was electronically weighed. I want to hang onto them as they fit in with my collection but my question is this - What are they worth? Any ideas. I tried old sales on ebay but the price fluctuates. Look forward to any input. Thanks.
A "general discussion" thread might have been a good place to pop this, too. Please PM me if you decide to sell. If it's a fair price I'm in for sure. Fiat or trade for silver, whichever you prefer.
Hi Swoydaz, You are first on the list should I sell. No problems. The price on ebay is between $150 - $250. What are your thoughts?? Cheers
oh, I better pass. Saw some generic brass scales quite a bit lower Apols. Hope you're having a great day and continue to do so. Cheers
Hi mate. No apologies needed. If I decide to flog them, we can have a chat. I got them for nothing so they owe me nothing and if I get sick of them I would be happy for them to go to someone who would appreciate the antique value. Keep in touch. Cheers.
Depends which one it is.. about $100 is a sellers price but there are around 100 different patients and some are superior to others .. the other variable is age.. the earliest ones are in a lot of ways more scarce and more highly demanded.. Your question is basically like. i have a sovereign.. what is it worth... i saw one on ebay for $600
Yes. You are right. If it pleases the eye then that gives it it's own intrinsic value. Question answered so thank you all. Cheers.
