Usually, items available in pawn shops are genuine, but people generally do not prefer to buy from there, as the items have found ther way to the pawn shops out of "distress", and they are available for sale  because of the inability of the person concerned to repay and recover. As such, the items at pawn shops are considered "unlucky". But if you do not believe in these superstitions, well try your luck, but the item will definitely be genuine.

Your best bet is to take the ring to a jewelry store and ask them about the ring. Some people who have been in the buisness a long time may be able to tell you some of the history on different stones etc.

rub it with a coin,\nif its gold, a soft metal,\nit should make an indent.\n\nif it is flaky, its fools gold.\n\nand here's a real simple test,\nif they are selling them dirt cheap, they are prob fake.\n\ntoo, what are the chances that a man walked into a mine, picked up some gold ( I am sure that a gold mine is guarded) \nand then managed to get it out of the country, \nand after all that, wants to sell it to you?

If you truely think that it is genuine and worth something, and want to sell it, take it to an appraiser. Personally I like Bonhams & Butterfields auction house. They will have an appraiser determine its value and sell it for you.

Yes, have your jeweler dip it in white gold, it should look like new.

You can type in a good description of the coin, it's likely that someone out there has another one just like it.  Otherwise, take it to a coin shop.

if you wanna wear the fake stuff then wear it. just don't try to play it off as real. try the area swap meet (flea market), a pawn shop, or estate sales. i get great stuff at estate sales and i've even found the real stuff. \ni live in a border city so it is very easy to get some great stuff at a great price. don't buy the first one you see. \nyou might even look for the neighborhood crack house. someone on drugs is willing to sell great stuff real cheap for his next fix. ok, maybe that's not right but it happens.

take it to a bank and have them check it. \n\n2.00 bills are older, so the watermark may not exist, if they were made some time ago.\n\nGenerally the feel of a counterfeit bill is smoother than a true bill. \n\nThe Bank will know. \nGood luck.

It will be very hard to verify the autentisity of such an object, you will probly need to take it to a professional of the baseball, he will probly need to check the leather and the seams to check wether it is from "back then". Then if that matches up, and the autograph looks valid, then he probly will give you a certificuit of authentisity

first if it was appraised a long time ago for 23K, it is probably worth considerably more now- especially if it is a canary diamond with few flaws--i know enough about jewelry to be dangerous- i would check the yellow pages for estate jewelers or jewelers who buy estate jewelry-- if one of these fellows buy your ring, they would give you the wholesale value not the retail value or they could not stay in business..you could try and sell it through the want ads, if you had a current appraisal and knew its value--yet that could also be dangerous with a valuable ring--that is worth a lot of money- i know an estate jeweler in dallas that would give you a fair value and or appraisal for the ring- then you could decide what you wanted to do thereafter--i am a retired CPA & CFP- if i can be of further help- holler back at me- good luck to you- by the way- you should get a current appraisal on the ring and make sure you increase the insurance on the ring to the current replacement value !!

Buy a Money Tester Pen.\nIf it's Amber is genuine.\nIf it's Dark is suspect.\nThey are widely used in currency exchanges.

You would have to take it to a coin dealer to find out. They can grade its condition and look it up. Chances are, it isn't worth more than 25 cents, but it is worth at least a penny!

Not sure about the watermark but a way to test whether any bank note (British ones at least) is genuine is to rub it on a piece of paper. If any dye comes off you know that it's real. Might have to rub pretty hard though. You can also usually tell by the feel of the paper and by ripping it a little at the top where the silver thread is. The thread should weave though the paper so by ripping it you can see if it is sewn in or just printed on.

I am unsure as to it's location, but I would not give them any money, as it definately appears to be fake.

Either take them to a local reputable jeweler, or a pawn shop, or post a classified ad in your local newspaper. Or, best case, get a refund (or at least a store credit) from the jeweler where they were purchased.
