With gold selling above US$1200 per ounce, it will be worthwhile to take the ring to a jeweler to confirm that it is 18 karat gold, and then perhaps the jeweler will buy it for its melt value.

The letters GF indicate an item that is not solid 18K gold, but is gold filled. That means that the inner metal is something other than gold, and there is a layer of gold on top. Heavier than electroplate, but much lower value than solid gold. By law 1/20th of the weight will be gold of the purity stated- so 19/20ths is something else- usually brass.
