Sidney, at present I'm giving $9.60/gram for 10kt, $14.80 for 14. I fear your silver vanadium ring won't bring much, though I don't expect you to need the service of my fellow professionals any time soon.
wigeon, I am a pawnbroker. I don't think I've ever sold a class ring for scrap in the 25 years I've been open, something of a non-intrest bearing account if you will, although the recent metal rise would provide some return on investment. Perhaps I'm naively hoping Johnny or Suzie (or their parents) will eventually come around and buy back their ring. It doesn't take too many fingers to count the number of times that has happened. Not to discount the number of customers who keep their rings current and eventuall pick them up, but it seems once they get overdue they end up in the Crown Royal bag.
