			About the gold used on the double and triple crowns. Two collectors I know tested the gold on several crowns in their collection - all were made of a higer grade of gold than 14k!!! So it does make some sense that many of these were harvested over time. I can imagine that up to recent times the gold was relatively of higher value that the "art". Quote:
