Default What valve springs are these?

I bought a set of used ported 317 heads. When I went to disassemble them< i noticed these springs. I have never seen these before and was wondering what they are.

The springs are gold and have a green strip down them.

Let me know what you think...

$0, hmm not true, but before jumping to conclusions, I would take one of those and get it measured at a shop. They will give you open and closed pressures and coilbind etc... Based on that info you could sell them and know better what they are really capable off.

Thanks Predator. I will consider this. Trying to see if it would make sense depending on how much it would cost to have them checked compared to how much I could sell them for.
