which is more expensive, 10k gold or 14k gold?
477386
14kt gold is 58.33% pure, while 10kt gold is 41.67% pure gold, so if the price is based solely on the percent of pure gold, 14kt gold should be 40% more expensive.

Gold remains gold no matter what. The problem is with the base metals gold jewelry is mixed with. Pure gold is 24 karats. Most of the jewelry you purchase is 14K or 10K. The higher the karat, the more gold. Example, 14K means that it is 14 parts gold, 10 parts base metal (for hardness and color), for a total of 24 parts. Therefore 10K is only 10 parts gold and 14 parts base metal. The base metal oxidizes and changes color. The more base metal (10K) the more likely it is to discolor, become brittle, or break. Touching silver has no effect. Just use a simple cleaner (ammonia and water) or buy a jewelry cleaner. Keep away from bleach, either when cleaning or in chlorinated water. This can do severe damage to the base metals. And do not clean your gold and silver jewelry in the same cleaner. The adverse effect is on the silver, not the gold. Hope this helps.

Real (placer) gold dust is usually very pure, 18-22 carats. Dust which is filings from jewelry can be whatever alloy the gold was cut from, could be as low as 9 carat. Under a microscope, the placer will have rounded edges and the filings sharper ones.

It's probably real gold, yes.  It's not pure gold, which is 24K.  14K means they added other elements to it to make it stronger.

It's "carats". 24k gold is pure. 18k gold is 18 parts of gold with 6 of some other metal, silver, or copper to alter the colour or make it wear harder and last longer, 9k is 9 parts of gold and 15 of other metals.

Not very much.  You could get a bag of 4,000 for around $10.

24 karat gold is pure, 100% gold\n14 karat is 58.3% gold, plus other metals such as silver and copper.\n\nSo you would need to melt the gold with silver (for example) - the amount of cheaper metals would need to be 71.5% of the amount of gold you have to get the correct blend. (calculation: 171.5 / 100 = 0.583)

Gold is a pretty good standard. :) And it should be worth...well...gold.

I has about one ounce of gold. It is a common date. $20 gold pieces in general are worth a little more than the gold content. The value is dependent on the condition. If it is uncirculated--no wear--it is worth the most. With gold currently at $641, I would guess about $700. An uncirculated coin maybe $750. If it is soldered to the chain, that will lower the value to the price of gold.

your best option is to liquidate your physical holdings and place your proceeds into GLD,  an exchange traded gold trust, that holds the actual metal.  There is a management fee associated with the trust, currently 0.40% per years. But when you wish to convert gold to dollars, you just sell come of the shares.  A $10 fee is associated with both buying and selling the shares through an on line broker.

The value of gold varies from day to day.\nTook a look here for historical data:\n\nhttp://www.kitco.com/charts/historicalgold.html

The 10K stand for the karat weight of the metal, normaly used for gold and platinum. The OB may stand for many things. Im sure someone will correct me on this, but i dont know of any metals used in jewlery that is named as OB. It could be the makers mark, as many crafters used to put their initials on things, much as many artists sign their paintings or have signature trademarks.
