I have 3 different kinds of boards that have me unsure of where they would be placed. No heavy components, but chip coverage is less than half the board, BUT there are decent portions of visible gold. Curious what y'all think of these boards, and any help understanding relative value of visible gold vs. chips is appreciated.

Pic 1: One big chip, maybe low peripheral?

Pic 2: Mid grade, but since it's a bare board with as much visible gold as it has, maybe low peripheral?


Pic 3: Based on chips, low peripheral, but would the visible gold make it high peripheral?

With display boards like 1 & 2 (maybe 3 is also?) I usually start with low peripheral. If either had an extra chip I'd go high peripheral for sure. Do note the black circle is a bump IC on 2.

3 I'd go high peripheral
