Any ideas where this could come from?

Weighs about 16 grams. I love it!

TIL that a group of cats is called a clowder. I picked up these 3 and (while this will be exceptionally unpopular with some folks) I used my Chase Sapphire Reward points and redeemed them against my balance. So, when I say I got them for a great price...I basically got them for free. 🤑 Still got my 2% back with my Costco Executive membership.

Only need 17 more before I seal up the box and bury it deep in the safe for the next generation to find.

IMO, 1/2 oz is a nice size to stack. If gold becomes significantly more expensive in the future, having fractional will make it easier to liquidate if necessary.

Stack on and enjoy the journey! 🟡

Here's what I know about this chain: 61cm long, 6mm wide, 44 grams. Missing clasp.

It's not magnetic, sinks like a stone in water, and has survived 30 minutes in white vinegar with no change to color or luster. There's no visible discoloration or signs of wear between any of the links.

Purchased in the early 1980s by my aunt for her husband. Definitely would have come from a jewelery store. The clasp broke at some point, he wore it frequently. He never got the clasp repaired/replaced due to cancer that took him pretty quick. It sat in a wooden box on my aunts dresser until 2018 when she passed away. The box had a couple pocket knives, some loose change, and this chain when it came into my possession. I've looked at the chain a few times but never thought much of it.

Until I came across this subreddit a couple months ago.

So, does it look like it's worth getting professionally tested?

FWIW, about 1/2 is from MintBuilder, and other than glacially slow shipping, I have nothing bad to say about them. Excellent pricing, great communication. And yes, everything tests good on my Sigma.

The Rooster was LCS and the rest a ‘silver for services’ trade with a friend. Gotta love those opportunities… 😀

I did the gun test on a $5 liberty. Tested 87%. LCS wouldn’t take it as it is but scrap gold at 83.33%.

Should I send to ngc/pcgs to grade and verify? Is it unusual that it is not as “pure” as it should be at 90%?

Someone threw away their stash.. 😊 14ct 14G and 14.6G - 9ct

Working in the waste industry has it's perks 😜

Second link has pictures.
Gold bars are marked NJ xxxxx (5 number serial).

We have been talking about the breakdown of the USD for years and the implications for gold. I think the Yuan v USD tape is showing the cracks and the gold bull case. As the dollar weakens and people look for a place to go. Gold is only going to get stronger. Crypto hasn’t worked out for folks. Back to the OG currency. Gold.

I found this two-toned ring. The only mark that there is engraved inside of it is this "585". Could it be white and yellow gold? It's a bit tarnished (?) though...that's why im not really sure.

I just won this in a bid off and all payed for I've found things I hope for a good score here's some pictures if you guys want to go hunting and picking through too and seeing if you can point out anything thats cool. Wish me luck

These were gifted to me: one gold nugget pendant set in an 18k gold bail, and a pair of gold nugget earrings set in 9k gold bails and needles. Are they generally more valuable than gold nuggets that haven’t been made into jewellery? I’m not selling them at the moment; I’d just like to understand their value. Thanks!

How funny it is to see my cash shrink so little into 2 pieces of yellow metal

Rings are one of my favorite accessories and I grew this collection over the past year, I absolutely love all of them. I love seeing everyone’s collections on here and wanted to share mine!! Hopefully I can continue to grow it and find more pieces I love🩷!
Which one is your favorite?✨

1.244g makes it smallest coin in my collection.

So a little over a month ago, I had posted a picture of what I’ve collected so far from all the electronics I’ve took apart . So practically it’s been a little over two months now since I’ve started E waste recycling. The last 5 pictures were taken today. Any thoughts?

Also, I have another box full of items that I thought maybe could be reused or have some value to it. From the electronics I’ve broken down. But I have that at the Storage also with some copper wire that I have stripped From cables.

Lastly, if you’re gonna come on here and tell me that I’m wasting my time or it’s not worth it. I have all the time in the world. Plus I enjoy doing this. So take your negativity elsewhere.

Any way to estimate the weight of this ring?

11mm size 12. I couldn’t figure out a reliable way.

Have you ever over extended yourself and how’d you reel yourself back in?

A harbinger of things to come? I'm having flashbacks...
