Can you give a price estimation to my gold scrap ? :) (picture added)

Go join the gold refining forum. Put a ad up in the for sale section. There's a lot of members from EU on there.

If you haven't read anything on the expected gold yield from those style of chips you should. Mixed chips like yours sell for $250 a pound and up on ebay. You need to sort those out by size and the number of pins on each chip.

This info is just for gold cap and gold lead ceramic chips. Socket pulls with no solder. This has no bearing on CPUs.

The 14 and 16 pin chips will have the most gold content. Upward to 10 or more grams per pound.



As the pin count goes up the gold yield goes down. Still not a bad yield on the chips but not as good.

When collecting gold plated escrap the smaller the item the better the yield per pound.
