It is the same as gold plated.
Gold clad (gold plated)
Clad is a term used to describe coins that are not made of precious metals. When you hear of a clad coin, it is to say it is plain junk metal, and only plated with a very thin layer of gold.
No, a gold clad coin is not pure gold. It is typically a thinly plated layer of gold over a base metal. The thickness of the gold layer can vary, but the majority of the coin is made up of the base metal.
It's the purity of the gold, as a decimal fraction. .9999 means the ring is 99.99% pure. That surprises me a bit, though, because jewelry is normally not made of gold that fine because it would be too soft for normal wearing.
so I'm watching t.v. and i see an add telling us how gold prices have skyrocketed and how a gold coin issued by the government has increased in value exponentially...blah blah blah. and then they offer you a chance to get a copy of this non-monetary value coin for only $19.95 (the original asking price was set at $50.00 - but by who?) it is clad in 31mg of .9999 gold, i repeat (as did the announcer on t.v.) .9999 gold, the purest gold you can find! all the while the camera is doing a closeup of this coin which looks rough and badly manufactured. probably a steel or aluminum casting with gold plating. i decide to do a little math. 31mg equals .001093493 ounces (there is another commercial for another gold coin that is clad in 51mg grams of gold). at $1000.00 and ounce that is equal to $1.09 worth of gold. the 51mg coin is clad in $1.80 worth of gold. i don't know who i am more mad at, the people that make these things that prey on uninformed public or the uninformed public that gives these people money to make this stuff.
9999 is a hallmark used to indicate that gold jewelry is made from pure 24-karat gold, which is the highest level of purity possible. This means that the gold is not alloyed with any other metals.
