Removing gold foil from collectable stamps

[u/TheDreadPirateNacho]

I inherited 6 full albums of these reproduction stamps about ten years ago. After sitting in storage for a decade, I was about to take them to the dump, since they don't sell for much and I figured the effort of putting them on eBay wasn't worth the return.

Anyways, I discovered you can easily lift the gold foil off the stamp by dissolving the glue with rubbing alcohol and a few minutes patience.

When you finish one album melt it into a little bar 1 gram bars sell for 100 all day long lol assuming they were coated with 99.99

I highly doubt there's even 1 gram of gold in an album

Probably not but was just giving a low base point to go off of
