The Gold & Silver Buyer's Handbook by Raffi Katz Ref: BK

184 pages, Fourth Edition, 2010

A unique book for all those who buy or sell gold or silver, jewellery or coins.

The book started when I worked at a jewellery shop specialising in scrap and bullion. From the very first day, I started making lists and charts: details of how to calculate scrap prices quickly, lists of coins and medallions, notes about how I had mistaken non gold items for gold.

This new edition contains the latest hallmark charts (including international marks), reviews of gold testers, and the latest information about trading in secondhand goods, weights & measures, and selling on the internet. Also: how to clean silver using a simple chemical reaction; how to check a weighing machine; advice about handling testing acids; details of the best places to sell gold and how much money to expect; how to buy and sell for profit.

The Identification of Sheffield Plate Ref: PLTBK

by Matheau-Raven, Hardback, 233 pages.

Present an 'expert' with a sliver plated item and he will probably examine it in great detail before pronouncing the obvious, "It's silver plated"...when what you wanted to know was: how old is it and who made it and when did they trade and what else did they make, and did they have any other marks and trade names? The answers are in this book.
