I'll bid on many things with gold, but this is not one of them. And they have multiple lots of these.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Perhaps some goth or voodoo person could use them for a necklace, but that's just too creepy for me

You may have seen WWII pics of piles of shoes, glasses taken from victims in the concentration camps. The Nazis pulled their teeth to get the gold fillings.

Buying dental gold is simply part of the gold silver scrap business .
Clients can range from the little old grannie with a gram or two from
a pulled tooth to dentists and dental labs with a fair amount .
Today you see nowhere near what you did back in the 1980s.
We always had the rule when buying , separate from the tooth
or we don't buy it .
Today most crowns and fillings are NOT gold .

I sold my dental gold once. I smashed it with a hammer to get rid of the tooth before they would buy it. Surprising this hasn't been done with the auction gold. You have no idea what it's worth otherwise.

 I would only want it if it was removed from the tooth. |

I've absolutely no room to cast aspersions on what other people choose to collect. Someone may have been ecstatic to buy these teeth. To each their own.

My ladder has the 'DO NOT STEP' warning and has it's own 'FS' (Bill Fivas and J.T. Stanton) number, but I can't seem to find it listed in my Cherrypicker's Guide. I won't even climb it now because I'm not sure it safe to do so with the error and all.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Ladders are stronger than you realize, but precautions should always be used. Safety first!  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
