Scrap Dental Gold and What kind of money might be involved?

I came across these valuable fact about scrap dental gold and its value when I was doing some research online

To give you an idea about the value of scrap dental restorations,

An average full gold crown might weigh on the order of 2-3 grams. This is on the short side of about one-tenth of an ounce. In recent history the price of gold topped out at over $1000 per ounce.
So if we do some calculations based on these figures.
If the crown's gold alloy is 10 karat...
The precious metal value of the crown is about $30.
If the crown's gold alloy is 22 karat...
The precious metal value of the crown is about $65.
