I'm pretty excited about this 10oz bar!
It's a scarce one with wonderful patina.


I also picked up these hexagon ingots just for fun.

    They are 95% silver, dated 1866.

    Nothing for me this week. Just having fun playing with other people's toys. Melted 32 lots of gold for dealers and processed a great diamond lot.

    What an interesting Job Jinx! Do you ever cry just a little when you see cool stuff getting smelted? Do you ever get the option to buy it before scrapping?

    Every now and then there are neat items, rarely anything worth buying, but it does happen.
    One of my favorites was a reliquary containing a bone shard of Saint John Neumann. So knowing coins, jewelry, flatware and antiques has come in handy, bringing in quite a bit of extra money by picking gems out of junk.

    I like Melty's thread better :)

    Bits and pieces this week: One nicely chopmarked 1784 8 reale, two later First Mexican Republic 8 reales, and a very cool, somewhat scarce 5 mark piece from Salzburg (Germany) dated 1876. Also a few whimsical sterling silver corn on the cob holders by Webster, pre-1950:

    At the LCS got a 10 oz silver bar, common, and a 1 oz silver John Pershing bar and a 1oz silver assay office round all for melt. Bought Wednesday and already the price is up. The only gold he had was krands so I just got a little silver.

    Got this spoon today in a melt bin for melt. A Tiffany & Co. sterling silver tea spoon Circa 1910. It’s pretty banged up which is probably why it was melt. Can’t complain it’s my first piece of Tiffany flatware/hollowware.

    Any suggestions on making it look better?

    Tap it on a steel table and use a ball peen hammer on the inside, you may end up with a cool hammered look

    It's all about what the people want...

    Kliao---That spoon looks like it was caught in a garbage disposal. It's beyond repair.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Could have been. I’m happy to get Tiffany for melt anyway.

    Agree. It's hard to go wrong buying any PM's at melt.
