<p>[QUOTE="JBIrish, post: 1562186, member: 41803"]Some time ago I inherited a few Krugerrand 1oz coins and a few Mapple Leaf 1 50 dollar coins. I took them to a friend Jeweler, and much to my distress they weighed between 20 and 22 grams each - so they are certainly extremely underweight and fake. He also put some chemical on them, and the spot that reacted with the chemical turned greenish - he said they are certainly not pure gold either.</p><p><br /></p><p>The question is, can I identify if they are gold at all (10k, 14k, 18k) or just some cheap metal? And can I get any kind of money for them if they turn out say 14k gold?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
