UPDATE ON MY LAST POST
For those who didn’t see my last post, here’s a short summary. I’m a complete newbie when it comes to gold. But I did some research after I found a crushed 21k gold bracelet while I was working (usps mail carrier), I stumbled upon something yellow and bright so I picked it up and found out it had a 21k stamp so I took it to a place in Brooklyn. The employee or owner said it might be fake because he sees “rose gold” and thinks it’s gold plated. He then weighed it and didn’t tell me how much it weighed. I asked if there was anyway to test it and he said yes and that if it’s real he would pay $400 for it. He then pulled out his black plate and his acid did a few scratches and used 3 different karat acids and stated it was real. I said I don’t wanna sell it and he proceeds to ask me to pay 10$ for “using his tools”. I guess he was salty I didnt fall for his scam. I said “the gold on your plate is the payment” and I walked out. I felt like it was a massive lowball even though he didn’t wanna tell me how much grams it weighed. Initially I thought it weighed around 27grams because I felt like it weighed the same about 4-5 quarters because I didn’t have a scale. But I was curious about the exact weight so I bought a scale from Amazon and tested it today and here’s the results. How much would this be worth?
