I found this in a .925 bin, being sold at melt. Of course I had to buy it - even with the looks-to-be assaying marks on the back, it has a lot of charm. Is it worth much with those marks, or is it just a melt item?

EDIT: Whoops, I called it a "florin" in the title. It's fixed now, but apparently this is what a lifetime of clearly labelled denominations does to you :I

Worth just melt, but I would have bought it for melt anyway.
Why?
You don't see old timers like this in the silver junk bins all that often.

I buy most ancients in this condition out of junk bins, just for the challenge of identifying them.
Why?
It keeps me on a reasonably steep learning curve. Lotsa fun is an added bonus.
