Generally the older the board the more plating there is.
Equally the longer pins have more gold than shorter ones do to more surface to cover.

But that's generally...!
Without through analysis there's no waw to truly know though.

Yes; they are (probably) worth more than shorter thinner pins. They should also be worth more than newer boards. But again, it's all relative and totally unreliable.
My point was to have a starting block to NEVER go over, not a range of options or imply set pricing.
