MUCH noun or adjectives?

We need a sentence, so here is one:

There isn't much pure gold, if any, in most gold-colored coins; they contain other metals.

In this case, much is a quantifier.

Well, thank you. At now, I am not looking for analyzing a sentence. I was wondering if it is possible or not. I mean when we are using much+adj. could much refers to both the noun and the adjective? Then of course by looking at the context that would become clearer.

If you are considering the parts of speech and meanings of words in English, you have to do it in the context of a sentence.
In English, words often assume many different parts of speech and meanings, too.
To determine the possibility of a collocation, you have to think up an example sentence in which it is used correctly.

Paeez1. Quantifier: lots of pure gold

Yes.

Paeez2. Intensifier: quite pure gold

No. You need 'very pure gold' for this idea, or just what you've written, 'quite pure gold'.

Thank you kindly dear Jim,
I appreciate you help.
However, those were made up examples just to find out that is it possible that much in such three segments sentences could have refer to both the noun and the adjective? I mean with same pattern.

eg
much taller (women) : refer to the adjective -> women who are much taller
much (taller) women : refer to the noun

women who are much taller

Much here is an adverb, modifying the comparative adjective "taller"

Of course. So? I didn't get your point.

Paeezmuch taller (women) : refer to the adjective -> women who are much tallermuch (taller) women : refer to the noun -> much women who are taller

Aha! I think I see the problem you've got there.

When much applies to a noun, the noun must be uncountable: much butter, much wine, much sand
woman is a countable

CalifJimAha! I think I see one the problem you've got there.

Well done, CJ!

Thanks. It took a while to decipher it, but I think I hit pay dirt with that last post. We'll see.

I did go back and correct that sentence I wrote, by the way.
