<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 3457678, member: 10944"]Somewhat recently I’ve encountered two pieces for sale marked “solid gold”. One was a late 19th or early 20th sporting award pin and the other was a collegiate pin probably from around that era. They were marked “solid gold” rather than denoting a purity in any way or GF, RG, plated, or anything like that. What if any experience do you guys have with this mark? Are the items actually solid 10k, 14k, or 18k gold, or was it just another way to give the appearance of gold while using only a minuscule amount of actual gold?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
