14 KE on a ring means that it is electroplated with 14k gold. Basically, there is only a plating on the outside that is gold.
none it is a thickness not a weight. It will take 3280 square inches of 30 micro inch gold plating to equal one troy ounce of gold.
A gold clad coin isn't pure gold; it's a core of a different metal covered with a thin layer of gold. The gold layer can vary in thickness. It's not as valuable as solid gold coins but still has a gold appearance.
not much... HGE means Heavy gold electroplate. You have a coating of gold over some other metal. Even tho HGE is the thickest coating, it's still just a very thin plating, and would require a special process to remove the gold from the other metal. The process would probably cost more than the value of the gold retreived, even with today's high gold value.
The U.S. doesn't make gold clad coins. If you have a Sacagawea or Presidential dollar with a golden color, it's actually made of brass and is only worth $1. Anything else you get, such as a gold-colored dime or quarter or penny, has been plated either for use in jewelry or as a novelty. The plating is extremely thin, often only a few atoms in depth. It would cost more to remove the gold than it's worth.
if the plating is gold and not scratched, use a gold cleaning cloth. then a silver cleaning cloth.
It's likely to have been plated or just looks that color from cleaning, the US never struck any gold one cent coins. The date is common and the damage to the coin from plating/cleaning has destroyed the collectible value. So if you get any offer on it, take it.
Gold plating depends on the spot price of gold. Gold plating is extremely thin, but gold is expensive too.
Elctroplated gold is gold plating on other metals. The object shines and looks as gold because of the gold plating. Anode and cathode are used for gold plating.
This will depend on the material you are interested in plating with. As the price of gold goes up, even plating with gold will become more and more expensive. Plating with silver will be less pricey than plating with gold.
Gold plating at the jeweler is probably the best way to go.

There is no definitive "best" gold plating solution as it depends on the specific application and desired outcome. However, a commonly used gold plating solution is one that contains gold cyanide, which provides good conductivity, brightness, and durability. It is important to consult with a specialist or conduct thorough research to select the most appropriate gold plating solution for your specific needs.

The 14k means that the plating is 14 karat gold. The "sgp" means that the item is silver with gold plating. What you have is a 14karat gold plated silver item. It is not gold, it is silver. The plating is not worth much, it's mainly for looks.
H.G.E. stands for hydrostatic gold plating/gold electroplating. A ring that has those letters engraved on the inside isn't made of gold. It's made of some other metal that has been layered over with gold plating. The plating wears away with time. But the thicker the plating, the longer the lifespan. And H.G.E. is the thickest plating around for jewelry.
