I noticed that most are Gold Filled...........for those of you who are not old enough to remember the old Gold Filled Standard, the minimum thickness required was 1/20 of an inch or 70 microns.  It takes one hell of a gouge to cut through to the base metal!

Hey, compare that to the touted 5 to 10 microns of gold on most of today's products!
