The Value of Silver and Gold at Auction

Harry and Simon discuss Simon's recovery from surgery and their recent experiences at valuation days. The pair also discuss how the value of silver and gold goes beyond their scrap value, as collectors are willing to pay more for unique and interesting pieces. There's also all the usual chat about the interesting items that have come through both auction houses including a monk's skull and and a one of a kind item from [email protected] @thegavelandthegabbleTwitter @GavelandGabble TikTok @laughingauctioneerwww.windsorauctions.co.ukwww.lymebayauctions.co.ukTIME STAMPS00:50 Recovery and Gratitude04:51 Valuation Days and Auction Adventures11:31 The Value of Unique Items16:46 The Potential of Silver and Gold at AuctionABOUT THE PODCAST The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found.Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on.
