Offers for scrap gold ?

[Ico86]

Hello, I find a lot offers for scrap gold like this:
949 Grams Scrap Gold 1 BIG Bar For Gold Recovery Melted Different Computer Pins for 111$
The question is how much from these 949 grams are gold ?

If you're lucky, maybe a gram or two. If you're unlucky, none.

Very little gold, as Dave said maybe a gram or two. The thing is that gold is easier to recover for me had it not been melted into a bar.

Absolutely! With that lot, you'll have to dissolve (one way or another) 947 to 948 grams of base metals to recover the gram or two of gold, if there is any there at all. Lots of acid. Lots of toxic waste to treat and dispose of. If they were still pins, they could be stripped in a sulfuric cell, with cyanide, etc. without having to dissolve all the base metals.

Not to consider alloys of tin and the trouble involved trying to recover something from someone's melted homemade bronze alloy.

Simple answer is None.
No gold there, nada, zip, zero...
If you are not physically present when melt is done you have no proof of what was melted.

Patnor makes a good point also, most of those bars I have seen will not pass any stone test down to 10K. I don't have the acid to test any lower with but I am sure it would not be any better results.

Now to find how many ways to say, "unless thou art lucky." :mrgreen:

Unfortunately, a lot of these are parts that have been stripped already and are then melted into brass bars and polished on a buffer to make them look like gold. You might as well buy old pennies- at least they are still around spot price for copper.
