Thanks, it helps to know I'm not the only one. You said you had yours redone with gold. That's the kind I had to begin with. Anyone can google the code and find out all about it:
D2790-Crown-Full Cast High Noble Metal Tth19
I just looked up my records to realize that my crown only lasted from May 8 to May 30th. Only 22 days.
If anyone googles the code, they will find that it's not really all gold. 60% of the crown consists of Noble metals such as gold, platinum, paladium and silver. And, of that 60%, 40% is gold. The reason for using these metals is for strength and to resist corrosion.
But if 60% of the crown consists of noble metals, I wonder what the other 40% consists of. Does anyone know?
