Measure the gold, take the volume of the gold, then divide mass over volume to give you the density of gold if it was the same as gold density then it is right other wise that ring is doggy

Is gold plated worth anything?

No - it just looks nice. When an item is electro plated, the plating material is very thin - less than 0.01mm - so there is hardly any volume of gold. So even though gold is expensive, a gold-plated item is worth just a few pence (cents) more than the item would be without the gold. This is ok for inexpensive jewelry, but do not be fooled into buying any gold or silver 'investment bars' or coins that are plated or described as '100 mills' or 'HGE' ('heavy-gold-electroplate') - these are just lumps of base metal (such as steel or copper) with no real value.

Are 24k plated gold coins worth anything?

No, they are worth no more than the metal (or face) value of the coin, the gold plating adds so little gold that it would cost more to de-plate the coin than the gold is worth. For example, a 1965 gold plated half dollar would be worth ~$4.50 in silver scrap just like a normal 1965 half dollar. A 2002 gold plated quarter would be worth just a quarter, just like a normal 2002 quarter.


Does gold plated rings change colors?
