Here is how I calculated it, so if you think I made a mistake please tell me:
First I weighed it on my O'Haus gram scale, and it weighed between 25 and 26 grams, so I called it .9 of an ounce for convenience. I multiplied that by the price of gold, which was around $1300 at that time. Then since it was 14K, I multiplied that by .583, since it is 14/24 pure. So I got:
.9 x 1300 x .583= $682 worth of gold. And I offered it for $625.
I also have a gold testing kit, with the acid bottles and the black stone, so I know how to test it too. Were my calculations right?
