Went to two church rummage sales this morning, first was a bust at the second I was looking through a pile of childrens bracelets and junk jewlery box right next to the cashier
marked .10 cents.Lots of fake gold etc.This one tiny 1g bracelet caught my eye.Got out
my loupe and sure enough 14k Gold Filled.Brought it to the cashier and I said this was
in the ten cent box.She hesitated and said I thought we checked everything for gold?, went
over to the box and started pulling out all the fake chains.I advised her nothing in there
was real(I checked them all).Then I paid for my .10cent chain and left.Went
online to the gold filled calculator and this is what I found.Gold filled 14k 1g at $1605 is
1/5=$6,1/10=$3,1/20=$1.5,1/50=.60.Since there is no percentage marked on the clasp
Im not sure what its really worth, plus the clasp is magnetic but not the chain.Not a huge score but im proud that everyone else missed it because I found it an hour after the sale started.(I could not capture a pic of the mark because my camera even on macro wont
focus on such small writing.).Thanks for looking.
