...gold prices?

Interesting, eh?

I've been slowly switching my patients over to all-ceramic crowns. But I
have a nice stock of old gold crowns sitting around. ;-)


Enough for a few ingots?

Seriously, what the gold weight of a typical crown? Some fraction of a
fraction of an ounce?

I do almost no full gold crowns, as most are porcelain or porcelain fused to
metal. With a porcelain fused to high noble metal crown, I pay for the
alloy, and gold is only 51.5% of the alloy. The alloy in a porcelain fused
to metal crown is 2-2 1/2 grams at $18.11 per gram.
