If you're going to be in the PM scrap business, you need to learn some things.
goldsilverpro said:At 30 micro" thick, which is about as thick as you'll ever see gold on fingers, you'll never be able to feel the gold edge. What you're feeling is the nickel plating and the much thicker copper (from 45 to 90 times thicker than the gold).
No offense, but I think your test is meaningless. You'll find out once you start buying stuff based on that test.

The plating is actually slightly thicker on commercial grade IT equipment like the kit you've pictured however as GSP has said this is but a fraction of the thickness that you feel. It's also thicker in terms of tiny amounts :shock:
From experience I would suggest that you use the standard close cut finger calculation for these (when cut close) as the additional thickness of the gold is counterbalanced by the additional board thickness. I get roughly the same yield by weight from 5Kg of these mixed with server PSU power edges as I would get from PCI cards or RAM fingers.
It balances out.
Hope that's of some help.
