Another Sweet Find! Antique Mall Gold

I got this yesterday in a small antique mall in northern Georgia.
$16 plus tax.
5.1 grams. >:)


I think it’s brand new. It has that look. Likely a Christmas present someone didn’t like and it somehow ended up in this antique mall. Funny thing is the price tag said it was 18K! :D

    I've read that there are a lot of gold chains marked 14K and 18K that are gold plated brass so be careful buying this material from a venue other than a reputable jeweler.

    I agree and I was suspicious at first but after really scrutinizing it, I am certain it's good, in fact, on the other side, it has the full, proper Italian hallmarks:
    plus the look and feel is totally correct

    Well you can always melt it into a nugget I have a platter so if unsure put it in plate solution if real it will attract more gold if plated it will remove the plate and leave in the bath you can return the solution into sold.

    Best place to buy !

    North Ga huh? Where were you? Nice score! I'm saying that only because @smudge put an exclamation point after the truly southern reply of...."Dang". I actually know nothing about gold! :D

    No problem on this... :) Dillard, GA. There are a bunch of antique shops all clustered up there, check it on google maps and you'll see... It was one of the downstairs locations, on the side street... (441 & Franklin st)

    If anyone is in that area, I recommend checking them out. I only get down there every couple of months or so...

    Very familiar with the area! Any coin finds? Last time I was there I wasn't collecting actively and wasn't paying attention to anything numismatic related.

    There, not really. There's a shop on the main road (441) that has a case of coins, but the prices and what they offer are quite the joke. I mainly search for the antique silver but like this past Saturday showed, it's worth your time to look in the jewelry cases!

    @Hallco also, if you go north on 441, literally a mile up and you're in North Carolina. There a few hit and miss shops along the way, then you get to Franklin, NC. There's a little bit there to check, but nothing exciting. A few years ago it was a lot better but lately it's dried up.

    I'm only about an hour from that area. Asheville, NC is where it's mostly at. There's a decent group of antique and coin shops in the area.. That's where I'd recommend you to try...

    The first Buffalo Nickel I ever bought was at a shop in Franklin. Little did I know at the time it would start the interest in building the only "set" I would ever try to complete! I think I mentioned that my wife and I were in Asheville last year. That day we were pinballing, eating chocolate and listening to street musicians though....not really shopping. :D

    @Hallco That's awesome! If you're ever in the Asheville area again, PM me. I work in the coin industry near Asheville. I don't mention on the boards for privacy reasons, but any member on here I'd love to meet if they are in the area...
