<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gus Tuason, post: 940348, member: 10012&quot;]As to purity, nuggets seldom test 24K. Copper, silver, etc. usually are present in varying amounts. After more study of the photos I stand by my original statement. I think that the person that crafted the item just got the pin too hot and it melted some of the nugget. For the purist this may have ruined the piece but in my book it&#039;s still a nice nugget. Oh, and I might mention that different gold combinations most of the time have different melting temperatures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
