This is a board from an old calculator that don't have to much going for other than the gold trace wire. With that what category would you put it in. My newbie guess would be high or low peripheral.

From the picture it looks more silver than gold. Also looks like there was a bump IC (black circular outline where the tracings converge) that was removed or broke off, it's likely that took off some higher value material. It does look like there are a couple gold plated pins though.

So... Midgrade sounds right. If the tracings color isn't correct in the photo and it's a good gold plating and if you have the bump IC or it didn't remove anything, it may be low peripheral.
