I asked how much, and the dealer said $80. I did not hesitate for very long.  I'm thinking AU-53.

Looks like a great deal and should go AU50. Surprised a gold buyer would let it go so cheap?

Real Nice, love the surface look. Is this your first one? Amazingly small, isn't it? Id' definitely visit that shop again.

Nice snag! Those "we buy gold" shops often rip off consumers so nice to see someone turn the tables on them.

Wow, can't believe you got that for such a small premium. Looks AU.

Lots of fakes (jeweler's copies) with these, but this one looks quite genuine. A 'steal' at the price, congratulations!

Update: I sold this to a pawn shop for $180. I wasn't going to make much more going the ebay route, plus this option gave me cash on the spot.
