    LCD boards typically do go as high grade. If you do a search on ebay, you'll see anywhere from 5-8 per pound. There are also buyers on here who will purchase them as well, you just need to contact them and ask what they are paying .

    Would the gold foil areas count as gold trimmings/fingers? Thank you gentlemen for your input.

    Gold fingers are most likely a thicker plating of gold because they are slid in and out of a motherboard. I may be wrong, but I would think they are worth a bit less where they wouldn't be as thick

    Jut on the PCI card in the lower right hand corner . I would not bother . Removing fingers devalues the board over all . My buyer pays less than half on trimmed boards so I personally sort and onto the next .
