You have it backwards. Gold is extremely malleable and you can easily leave marks in pure gold by biting it.

Yep, I've since looked it up, and it's apparently the most malleable metal, with Silver coming second. To be fair, Lead is pretty malleable, too, and you can leave bite marks in it if you put it in your mouth.
