If you buy and sell on the "open market", you need to either pay an assaying service to determine the purity of the gold or be very careful of those with whom you deal. Remember also that buyers of your gold have the same dilemma: do they trust you or do they insist on an expensive assay? Pete LaMaster BTL NJ (201)949-4604
