Weird Board Grading Question

I pulled this out of a modem of some sort. It looks to be plated in some kind of metal, maybe a really thin gold. I'm interested in what y'all have to say about it and how it could be graded as.
Pic #1: Front. It has a few steel heat sinks (?) soldered to the board.

Pic#2: Back. Not too much going on. Just a few little lines, and the rest is some kind of plating.

Maybe its some kind of board to ground out the circuitry, but I'm just guessing. If y'all could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Only looks like gold anodizing to me

can't really tell what color that is, have you tried scratching through it to see what the colors changes are ? Are the heatsinks steel or stainless steel? Might help some if you can determine how old it is, older stuff generally used better materials

I scratched it and it is the same color all the way through, and the heatsinks are steel. It looked like a pretty new modem to me.

you can always do a acid test to see if its gold .a acid stone and acid kit are the best for e-scrappers

I think that be a perethial board.
