id, can provide no help on removing gold plateI'd let the refiner handle that. I'd assume the payout % would be much lower than with karet gold, will check. I've been using the line 'it takes a ton of gold plate to make an ounce of gold'. That may not be totally accurate but gives you the idea.
Joe, not everyone gives the dentist their old dental gold, I get a chunk every couple of months. It's nominally 16 kt.
