I did pick up a solid silver .45 cartridge at the gun show yesterday....One ounce, $15... Nice to get silver below current melt. Cheers, RickO

I've seen these, but the seller always wants a premium. You got a nice price indeed!

Nice bars....

Asheland, what type of finish do you call that? Looks kinda frosty!

asheland

@jmski52 It's EXTREMELY frosty and under a loupe it's tiny dots everywhere. I am very curious myself as to how they make it do that. I have personally poured silver bars in the past and they come out VERY shiny when poured extra hot. (like perth mint bars and this Scottsdale)
(next post)
Older Johnson Matthey 100's also have the frosty finish. I am indeed curious what they do differently...

asheland

When poured hot, they cool down looking exactly like these:

Smudge

Really nice.

Maybe a fast quench when they are still hot?

We should have a Memorial Day weekend 2018 Metal Porn thread . Maybe the OP can start a new thread?

Meltdown

I added a bit to the stack this week.

That's a good possibility!

Can never have too many ASEs, Meltdown! Nice haul.
Love the variety, Asheland!
