Will these make Gold Plated Pin grade

also I have these copper/aluminum/stainless steel heatsinks
they have a copper bottom plate, the inner fins are aluminum, and have a stainless steel outer cover,
my question; what will they grade as?

I'm going to point you to a thread where Lostinlodos helped me with some pins if you want to read a little more info.

Top picture definitely is pins, just make sure they have gold on them.

Second picture, I'm assuming is a closer look of a sampling of what you have from the first? Small ones from ribbon cables or similar are fine as is but if it's like the one rectangular one where there's a good chunk of non-plated material you'll want to trim the gold part off.

Third (and again assuming 4th is a sample?), aren't pins per se but if you trim the excess they should be good togo with pins, maybe keep them in a separate bag in case Boardsort doesn't pay as much for them.

If there is stainless on the heatsinks I would consider that dirty aluminum/copper heatsinks which is a fair bit lower price. Personally I always separate the heatsinks to get the copper off, depending on how easy it is I'll clean other metals off the aluminum but I don't go to a lot of trouble to make all the aluminum clean.
