<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 282475, member: 4552&quot;]I&#039;ve watched jewelers use a type of Gold wire solder On Gold items for repairs. Not sure what it is but probably Gold mixed with Lead or Antimoney. Occationally they also use Silver solder and just color it Gold if ment to match and item. Regardless, it is almost always heated sufficiently enough to melt into a coin item by the fusion of the Gold itself. If not comes apart to easily. This is similar to a welding or brazing process where the new material is melted together with the old material. </p><p>Such a coin is now ruined as a coin but makes for a great looking piece of jewelery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
