Title: Need some help on value
Post by: hlbly on September 02, 2010, 10:25:43 AM: While cleaning my garage yesterday I found one of these buried in the gravel . I am fairly certain it is gold . Been getting a little confused though on dwt vs troy vs grams . I found a forum that said it was 17.35 grams of 14kt gold . Have been unable to find that forum again or anywhere else with any info . Can anyone help me ? I think I got around 200 bucks or so for scrap gold here . That was with wiki's price of 12 dollars per gram . I don't trust wiki with my historical research , kinda nervous trusting their price . Any help greatly appreciated .(http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/hlbly/Heinz1947_0000.jpg)
