    You did that with a hammer? You must've had a decent heat source too.

    OK. You got an ounce of silver.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    WHat I did is this:

    I took the ASE and put in half in the vice and half sticking out. I then pounded down one side with the hammer. I then put the 90-degree-angle bent ASE in completely in the vice and smushed it togther untill it was completely folded over. I then repeated the same process for the second fold

    image Kinda cool looking -- seems to open up a whole lot of creative opportunities. Is the .999 fine silver a lot more malleable than a 90% alloy?

    Nothing special....now, if you did it to a 2006 Reverse Proof you owned, THEN I would likely be impressed image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Send it in to ANACS or NCS and see if they'll slab it as damaged. image


    If you throw it on eBay I bet you get a good hammer price for it (pun intented) image
