In this paper we study the stability of few layer graphene (5-7 layers) doped with gold nanoparticles through spin coating of a gold (III) chloride solution. Specifically sheet resistance, optical transmittance and surface morphology were monitored over a period of four weeks. Through scanning electron microscopy we observed that the gold nanoparticles of 29.1±1.3 nm nm diameters, which were formed on surfaces freshly doped with a 20 mM solution, agglomerate and fuse over the period of four weeks into larger particles of 50-110 nm diameters. At the end of four weeks of aging, regardless in air or vacuum, the optical transmittance at 550 nm for the doped samples resumed a value close to that of undoped samples. During these four weeks, the sheet resistances of the samples doped with 20 mM gold chloride also increased from 130 ohm/sq to 300 ohm/sq,
