hardtimehermit Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I got lucky this week, swinging the coil on down the Emigrant trail. Found my first gold jewerly 10k. 1 gram. It is inscribed with the name Sherry on one side and on the other it has love, Al. I wish there was a date, but i think it must be 50 years or older.

Au Seeker Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Nice find! Is there a maker's mark along with the 10K mark? If not, it is more than 50 years old, and would be more then 100 years old or in violation of the Gold and Silver Stamping Act of 1906, unless it came into the country as a piece of personal jewelry of an immigrant, in which case it would still probably make it much older than you think, but the purity may be off somewhat from the marked 10K! https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2009-title15/html/USCODE-2009-title15-chap8.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
