This gold comes from the Circle Mining District, Alaska; Mammoth Creek; The total weight of this gold: 5+ GRAMS If you are new to buying gold, here are some great tips: Gold Weight: Compare the weight in grams or ounces of the nugget to the current spot price of gold. (There are 31.1 grams per troy oz.) Nuggets do fetch more than raw melted gold due to its rarity in nugget form. Remember, gold weight is most often listed in troy and metric values. The weight of gold can be measured in troy ounces, grams, or penny weight. See chart below: 1 oz. (troy) = 31.10 g (31.1 grams) 1 oz. (troy) = 20 dwt (20 pennyweight) 1.55 grams = 1 dwt (1 pennyweight) 1.0 grams = 15.43 gr (15.43 grains) Be sure you know the difference between a gram and a grain! Some unscrupulous sellers will intentionally mislead you by listing the weights incorrectly with common abbreviations ("g" is for grams and "gr" is for grains). If you see a 10gr nugget selling for $480.00 on eBay, watch out - it should be more like $31.00! 10 GRAINS is equal to just 0.479 GRAMS. Remember it takes 15.43 grains (gr) to make just one gram (g) of gold. And there are 31.1 grams to one troy ounce. A grain is the smallest unit of measurement of gold. eBay now prohibits the use of the word "GRAIN" in the title description line. Gold nuggets are valued differently than raw gold and gold in coin form. When evaluating natural gold, consider several factors. Gold may be valued on: weight, rarity, physical dimensions, shine, brightness or luster, purity, origin, and whether the nugget is considered collector or specimen grade. Less than 2% of all gold mined is in nugget form. Gold nuggets are now rarer than diamonds. If I mention "jewelers gold, or overlay", this simply means this gold is desirable to jewelers who work with nuggetted jewelry, as it will be thinner pieces. I typically have severl pieces listed. DETERMINING FAIR VALUE: Gold Weight, character and Color! For an average quality nugget, weight and color are your best bets for determining value. Look for bright and shiny gold - if the gold is dark, it may contain a high amount of copper or other less minerals and metals. Pure gold looks just as you would expect. TESTING GOLD: The acid test is the most reliable (not recommended) and commonly used method, yet can be dangerous due to the liquids used. This determines gold from base metals. This will show the general karat range, but is not completely accurate unless you are an experienced tester. You are ONLY testing a small area of the nugget. Electronic testers are used often, but one thing to keep in mind is that these testers utilize a surface test and will only give you the karat of the actual spot you are testing. You will need to test in several spots to ensure that you didn't just get one particularly fine area of the nugget. No electronic tester can test gold dust or flakes. Therefore, the only true accurate means is a destructive fire assay test, which means melting the gold, which destroys the nugget value. SIZE OF GOLD: Gold is measured in "mesh or screen" sizes. Because this is natural gold and not man made, it is very hard to predict how many pieces there are per gram or ounce. Every batch is unique. But in general, you can expect about 2-4 pieces of 6 mesh per gram, 7-12 pieces of 8 mesh per gram and around 15-20 per gram for 10 mesh (similar to Grapenuts). Some nuggets may be flat and light or rounded and very dense (heavy). The smaller the mesh number, the larger the piece of gold. Good Luck Bidding! Payment Please review the tax rules in your state since they differ; eBay, not the seller, may be required to add taxes. Each state has its own set of regulations regarding bullion, nuggets, etc. Although I'm not familiar with all 50 states' rules, the majority of them have bullion exemptions. Tracking devices are increasingly being included in a few high-value bundles. I would appreciate it if you could mail the prepaid, addressed package back to me as soon as possible. We both have additional insurance with this. To avoid sending out several invoices, do let me know if you are awaiting the conclusion of other auctions. Please notify me if your payment will take longer than two to five days; if not, eBay will automatically mark your item as "UNPAID." Shipping Free shipping is available in the USA, except for sold items under $50, which will be $1.99 (less than half the shipping cost; I pay the remainder). I ship via USPS and typically dispatch within 24 hours of receiving payment. Please note that according to eBay policy, once the tracking status indicates "Delivered," eBay considers the item delivered. If you need shipping upgrades, such as signature confirmation, please let me know before you complete your payment. Generally, shipping is quick, but it may take longer during the busy Christmas season. For shipments to Canada, delivery can take up to two weeks. The safest and most cost-effective option is Priority International Flat Rate, priced at $29.95. If your item is valued under $750, I offer First Class International shipping for $16.95. If you are purchasing multiple items, please wait until the end of the day to pay for all your auctions together. This way, you can benefit from a discounted combined shipping rate. Terms of Sale Please be considerate and let me know if you are unhappy with your purchase before you leave anything than nice reviews. If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason other than "I thought it would be bigger!" I provide a 100% money-back guarantee. Since I don't conceal anything, pictures will be taken of the nuggets, silver, and jewelry on all sides. Please keep in mind that there will be some imperfections because the nuggets are natural. A nugget of gold that is 100% pure does not exist. I'll present the nugget from every perspective, whether it's good, awful, or ugly. As long as the gold hasn't been altered, I'm prepared to give you a complete refund if you're not happy with it. Only three nuggets have been returned since 2009. About Us I lived in Alaska (Gold Country) for 35 years, and this was our home. Recently, we moved to Eastern Washington, but my suppliers have remained loyal to me. I will always buy back any gold from you. Most of my Alaskan placer gold nuggets come from mining districts like Circle, Fairbanks, Fortymile, Bonnifield, Rampart, Yukon, Valdez, Koyukuk, and Ophir. Between 35 and 60 miners throughout Alaska and Canada supply me with gold. I clean the gold using a natural process to remove dirt. The color and shine can vary depending on the creek, assay, and metal content. While I may not always know the exact creek, I'm familiar with the origins of most of the gold. I'm a one-woman business focused on "truth in advertising." Since 2009, gold has been my full-time job after a long career in aviation since 1977. I've gained the trust of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of return customers, including other sellers, and plan to maintain that trust. In addition to gold, I also sell coins, fine jewelry, and custom-made Alaskan nugget pieces. I have a source for vintage Alaskan jewelry, but I don't always know the history of the items. If I'm unsure about a certain stone, I'll state that. While I'm not a gemologist, I'm knowledgeable about gold. All diamonds will be tested and described accurately. You'll be able to purchase pieces for about 25% of the retail price because I buy it at the right price. I encourage you to keep watching my listings and add me as a favorite seller. I'll send you automated emails with my newest items if you click the box. I believe I offer some of the most unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry on eBay, and I've been selling there since 1999. If you ever spot an error in my listings, please let me know quickly. I don't take any offense and will promptly correct it. If a listing is removed, it's solely to fix an error, and it will always be relisted. Contact Us I only ask that you get in touch with me first if there is a discrepancy. I will be more than pleased to address any problem you may have and to your satisfaction, so there is no need to contact the resolution center.
