Valuing Your Vintage 18k Gold Tiffany Wedding Band - Appraisal Advice


Question
I have an 18k gold Tiffany, (I believe it is a) wedding band.
It is engraved with the initials EEP & LGT and the date Nov. 20, 1895. I believe it might be about a size 5.  Can you help in telling me what it might be worth or where I should have it looked at?  I really can't afford to have an appraisal done right now.  Any help would be appreciated.

Answer
Thanks for writing!
Generaly, Old Wedding bands are only worth their weight in scrap metal unless they are engraved and belong to someone famous. Some weddingbands containing diamonds of intricate design and in good condition may command a higher price.
Sorry thats the best I can do without seeing it.
