It's unclear exactly what you mean, but pure gold is indeed 'cohesive to itself'. If it weren't, it would blow away as the finest molecular dust, or maybe take the form of liquid. Gold is highly malleable and ductile. This means that you can hammer it into very thin sheets without it crumbling or tearing. It just keeps spreading out. Ductility refers to the fact that it can be drawn through small apertures to make wires or filaments. If it were not 'cohesive to itself', this could never be done.
