Gold Crucifix

I recently found an old gold crucifix. I took it to a cash for gold place and they said it was between 22-24k gold. It has no other markings but a C or an E right above the corpus. This piece weighs 22.3 grams and the gold has grooves in it to make it look wooden-like. How would i go about selling this as a piece instead of scrap gold? how could i find out how old this piece is?
