You are talking about temp of 538 C to 1093 C ,so I dont think you will have any moulds left

The melting point of Gold is 1064.43 º<br>The melting point of Silver is 961.93 º C,<br>to produce a bronze casting, the alloy is heated to at least 1,700 degrees F. at which it melts,

I hope this helps

As to marketing chess sets, I wouldn't count on making any money on that. Not sure about things in other countries but here in the USA chess sets are becoming a thing of the past. Some people buy them for thier kids and they sit in the original box collecting dust. There are some really fancy ones being made for looks only out of brass or pewter but not to often. With just about every kid here having computer they can play chess on line with their friends and not have to put the thing away or take care so as not to get a piece broke. I've seen some really fancy ones for sale at flea markets for a few dollars because there was one piece missing. In my neighbor hood there is not one single person that even knows how to play the game. I have to travel about 30 miles to a freinds house to play a game of chess. Here in a large city that takes about 1 to 2 hours pending traffic.
