I am running into alot of fan grilles on old power supplies that appear to have a gold color plating on them. Wondering if they are actually gold plated or if its a coating?

I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE
Its just a coating,
There is no reason for the company who built them to gold plate the grill, its just for looks.

Use a pencil eraser and see if the plating will rub off after a few strokes.
We buy electronic scrap, Gold Karat scrap, gold filled, refined gold, silver and many other item's.
