61.9 DWT (Pennyweight) 3.1 Troy OuncesIf you are new to buying gold, here are some great tips:Gold Weight:Compare the weight in grams or ounces of the nugget to the current spot price of gold. (There are 31.1 grams per troy oz.) Nuggets do fetch more than raw melted gold due to its rarity in nugget form. Remember, gold weight is most often listed in troy and metric values. The weight of gold can be measured in troy ounces, grams, or penny weight. See chart below:     1 oz. (troy) = 31.10 g (31.1 grams)
     1 oz. (troy) = 20 dwt (20 pennyweight)
     1.55 grams = 1 dwt (1 pennyweight)
     1.0 grams = 15.43 gr (15.43 grains)Be sure you know the difference between a gram and a grain! Some unscrupulous sellers will intentionally mislead you by listing the weights incorrectly with common abbreviations ("g" is for grams and "gr" is for grains). If you see a 10gr nugget selling for $480.00 on eBay, watch out - it should be more like $31.00! 10 GRAINS is equal to just 0.479 GRAMS. Remember it takes 15.43 grains (gr) to make just one gram (g) of gold. And there are 31.1 grams to one troy ounce. A grain is the smallest unit of measurement of gold. eBay now prohibits the use of the word "GRAIN" in the title description line.

Gold nuggets are valued differently than raw gold and gold in coin form. When evaluating natural gold consider several factors. Gold may be valued on: weight, rarity, physical dimensions, shine, brightness or lustre, purity, origin, and whether the nugget is considered collector or specimen grade. Less than 2% of all gold found is in nugget form. Gold nuggets are now rarer than diamonds.DETERMINING FAIR VALUE: Gold Weight and Color: For an average quality nugget weight and color are your best bets for determining value. Look for bright and shiny gold - if dark it may contain a high amount of copper or other less minerals and metals. Pure gold looks just as you would expect.

TESTING GOLD: The value of gold is based on the karat system, which is a 24 point scale, signifying the percentage of gold a piece of metal contains. So, if jewelry is 14KT, it is 14 out of 24 parts gold, or 58.33 percent gold. Nuggets are usually 20.5 to 22KT purity (81% - 95%). Gold is tested either with acid or electronically. The acid test is the most reliable yet can be dangerous do to the liquids used. The only 100% accurate way of testing for purity is a fire assay, (melting or refining) thus destroying the nugget value by altering them.

SIZING OR CLASSIFYING GOLD: Mesh or screen refers to the openings between the threads of a screen and is measured by the number of openings per inch; that is, 6 mesh equals 6 holes per inch, 8 mesh equals 8 holes per inch, 10 mesh equals 10 holes or openings per inch and so forth.Good Luck Bidding!View My Other Items For Sale

If you are not satisfied with your gold, I'm happy to offer a full refund upon return, as long as the gold has not been altered. Since 2009, only three nuggets have been returned. About Us A bit about me and where the gold is mined..I have lived in Alaska since 1989, and the Interior since 2006, and this is our home. Most of my Alaskan placer gold nuggets are from Circle, Fairbanks,  FortyMile, Bonnifield, Rampart, Yukon, Valdez and Ophir mining districts,  Alaska. Between 35 and 60 miners supply me throughout the state; some in Canada. I clean the gold by a natural process to knock off the dirt. The color and shine of the gold will vary, depending on the creek,  assay, metal content, etc. I don't always know the creek where your gold comes from, but most of the time I do.
I am a one-woman business and I believe in "truth in advertising". From 2009 until now, gold is my full time job after a long career in aviation since 1977. I have gained the trust in hundreds, maybe approaching thousands, of return customers, including other sellers and plan to keep it that way. I also sell fine jewelry and custom made Alaskan nugget pieces hand crafted by my friend and neighbor, Jim. He is a talented jeweler and his custom pieces are one of a kind. I have a source for vintage Alaskan jewelry, but often I don't know the history of the item. When I don't know a certain stone, I will state that. I'm not a gemologist, but I do know gold. All diamonds will be tested and stated in the description. You will be buying pieces for about 1/4 of retail price. I can pass the savings along to you because I buy it right. I buy silver when I see vintage pieces and rescue them from being melted. 

Keep watching my listings and add me to your "favorite sellers". I will send you automated emails with my newest items,  if you click the box. I believe I get the most unique, one of a kind jewelry of any seller on ebay. I've been at it a very long time and selling on ebay since 1999. 
If you see errors in my listings, please let me know...never any offense taken! If a listing is removed, it's only to correct an error...not for any obscure reason; it's as simple as that. It will always be relisted.   Contact Us eBay does not allow the exchange of emails
