Yes it's real
Did you ever find the answer to your question. I just went through my jewelery box and have an old broach with 187 stamped on the back of what looks like a gold piece. I can't find any information on it on the website. I quess I'll take it to a jeweler.
My appraisal says 14k white gold. I would like an expert opinion on this as well.
JFK half dollars were first issued in 1964. And 1963 is the last year for Franklin half dollars, plus the US Mint has never issued a gold JFK coin of any type. If the coin is a counter stamped, gold plated Kennedy half dollar it's only 50 cents.
7-24-11>>> The US has never made any gold one cent coins. It may look like gold (toning) or may have been gold plated, the counter stamped date or plating was not done by the US Mint and adds no value at all to the coin. The coin is worth one cent unless you find someone that wants it.
Should be a d mark on back side left by arrow
I have a white gold and diamond ring stamped JWBR and it is definatly real.
your rich
It could mean gold electroplated with 10K gold. And, if the band is plated, the stone is not a diamond.
Because it's not a diamond and not set in gold or silver or platinum.
Because it's not a diamond. Diamond rings are set in gold or silver which are stamped with purity hallmarks.
other alloy than gold
I have a white gold ring stamped 750 HG with a diamond. The dimond is real. I filed the ring shank and it still tested 18kt. gold
More than likely, the 12 stamped in your ring means that it is 12 karat gold.
Heavy Gold Filled..
What does it mean
825 means the gold mount is 82.5% pure.
PLAT means Platinum. I have seen a diamond ring with the diamond held by a silvery metal whilst main ring is gold. It is stamped "PLAT 18CT".
