These are not connector ends and have not been removed from
a board the pins are long and straight encased in plastic
in a slot array value close to that of fingers and cpu pins if only because of
large amount of gold plating

You'd have to post a picture to know what you're talking about.

I will try to upload photos

The top one is a crimp adaptor. It's a standard gold pin connector. Remove the plastic by cutting the centre with a tin snip and the free pins will come loose rather easily.

Middle and bottom look like wholesale parts that didn't get used. Both would fetch gold plated pin rate but you'll have to email chris and ask for a quote. Add the pins from the top one with it.

Does boardsort. Buy the pins-- price per pound?

Yes; but you need to email them for a quote service and once you send them in they will scan them and price it out based on ammount of gold in the plating (kt rate) and thickness (umt).
