I found this today very near two IH of 1898 and 1904 vintage.
On my Sovereign in rings up at 173 which is the same number as my 10K wedding band.
Initially I thought it was brass. It came out of the hole with a black coating on it.
Pictured it has been cleaned three times with Brasso.
Does it look like gold?
How much does a jeweler charge to test it?
Thanks
Gold & silver testing kits are very cheap, looking into getting one. (about $10)

How do you find Gold coins? Reply: 'By finding lots of Silver ones..'
A real man thinks about detecting every 6 seconds.

We can not understand ourselves unless we understand our HISTORY.
I, too would think brass. Wis it were gold for you.

No backmark at all.
I did look at it at work today at 65 times magnification.
You are correct, obviously gold plated.
Oh well, close but no cigar.
Thanks for the help

Hey everyone. You are hear-by invited to my place for night of fabulous entertainment.
For the main event we will roast our good friend Nick Pappagiorgio; that's sure to be an eye opener!
Next we'll kick back, smoke some Cubans, maybe down a couple of wet ones, and bad mouth all
the 1970's era cherrypickers while Nick DJ's. Nothing could be better
