    Question is, why are you so excited on this over priced board, at $99.99 USD for a single board your going to lose a lot of that hard earned cash.

    I wouldn't know how to grade it but i'm mindful that the tracings on a board are pretty thin. More a foil sandwiched between layers of something like fiberglass. Most boards have copper tracings. Some have copper tracings with gold solder points. Some have gold or silver tracings but they are uncommon.

    Who knows ... it might be something or maybe not all that much really. Seeing as they generally have to refine boards by the ton in order for it to be cost effective to recover PM's ... i'm inclined to think it's the latter.

    Just as Hills said, the gold is flash plated.

    It would take a considerable amount of boards to obtain a leach like that below.

    NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).
