Default Koftgari Scrap Gold Melt Value?
I have often seen examples of antique swords and daggers missing their original gemstones, as those were considered more valuable than the arms itself.

Taking that idea further, I'm wondering if anyone has heard of people intentionally scrapping the gold koftgari work from a piece to sell the gold.

It seems like a terrible loss of craftsmanship, but I'm curious if it's happened.
