    Hello folks, I haven't written or ask any questions lately but I
    always read the page.  I do now however, have a question.  I am
    looking for an alloy of 22k yellow gold.  I have been using Hoovers,
    too yellow.  They just sent me a sample of a 22k that is red.  It is
    coming out next month.  It is too coppery, in fact I think it looks
    like copper not gold at all.  I need to find an alloy that looks
    like old gold coins.  This is supposed to be about 92% gold and 8%
    copper.  That is what I have read in a couple of books anyhow.  Does
    anyone know of a supplier who sells coin 22k?  Or any other alloy
    that doesn't have any zinc.  I am enameling.  

    <edit> message split</edit> 

    So If anyone can help me with the gold alloy or my depletion
    problems or my enamel issues I would be very grateful.  

Thanks,  Dennis
