203 grams. Left in bleach for 72 hrs, hit it with a butter knife (which caused dents) then tore off the end with a hammer. This is the end result
Face area less than credit card, roughly 7.5cm long and 4.5cm wide. Average thickness id say .7cm at thickest, .4-.5mm at middle and .1-.3 at thinnest (at the top)
Would rather get opinions first then embarrass myself at a jewellers
My late grandmother’s chain- how to tell if it’s real gold?
Hello! So, I know it’s probably impossible to tell me for sure if the chain is real or not over the internet. I plan to go to my local jeweler at some point!
But until then, is there anything you can tell about the chain from the photos? It’s has a good weight to it, super shiny, and I don’t see any tarnishing. I can see a 14K stamp on the clasp (but I know that doesn’t guarantee authenticity). Also, how thick do you estimate it is?
Any input greatly appreciated! Thank you all!
I recently bought a “secondary market 1 oz gold bar, no plastic” from Monument Metals. I expected a generic loose bar, but when it arrived it looked like it might be a vintage Australian Harrington / Harringtons cast bar.
The hallmark is a little weak/worn, but the “TON” portion of the logo is visible, and the overall shape/layout looks similar to Harrington examples I’ve found online.
Can anyone here confirm whether this is Harrington / Harringtons? Also, does anyone know approximately when this Australian bar style was minted/cast?
