<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 11608267, member: 10944"]Purchased two silver pieces today for around melt. Can’t say I liked paying that at the new silver prices. Was $14 per ozt when I started buying. Even when it went up into the low $20’s I tried staying around .50 cents per gram as a buyer. One of the newbies is this very funky spoon. I was thinking it was most likely NWC NA but it doesn’t resemble super closely any I’ve seen. Maybe up into Alaska or Inuit territory? The only other NA piece I saw in the home was an Inuit soapstone. Perhaps both items were brought back from the same trip. I could be way off. No markings which isn’t too surprising if it’s what I think it may be. Not sure what I’m seeing animal wise. I thought y’all may get a kick out of it. I was surprised it was still there when I showed up for the final thirty mins of the sale. Actually all of the silver seemed to be. They priced it all around 20-25% over melt initially. Either that scared buyers off or the silver people stayed home today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course if anyone wants to share some wisdom it would be appreciated.
