I presume you've already seen these two cites:

18. GOLD SEAL FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATES. The specific
requirements for the gold seal flight instructor certificate are
contained in FAA Orders 8700.1, General Aviation Operations
Inspector's Handbook, and 8710.3C, Pilot Examiner's Handbook. Flight
instructor certificates bearing distinctive gold seals are issued to
flight instructors who have maintained a high level of flight training
activity and who meet special criteria. Once issued, a gold seal
flight instructor certificate will be reissued each time the
instructor's certificate is renewed. Applicants for gold seal flight
instructor certificates must meet the following requirements:

a. The flight instructor must hold a commercial pilot certificate with
an instrument rating (glider flight instructors need not hold an
instrument rating) or an ATP certificate;

b. The flight instructor must hold a ground instructor certificate
with an advanced or instrument ground instructor rating; and

c. The flight instructor must have accomplished the following within
the previous 24 months:

(1) Trained and recommended at least 10 applicants for a practical
test, at least 8 of whom passed their tests on the first attempt;

(2) Conducted at least 20 practical tests as a designated pilot
examiner, or graduation tests as chief instructor of a 14 CFR part 141
approved pilot school course; or

(3) A combination of the above requirements. (Two practical tests
conducted equal the credit given for one applicant trained and
recommended for a practical test.)
