Amazing vid
Thank you!! 👍
Im kind of glad there not all perfect lol
Agree, it makes the hope for 70s more exciting.
Good, simple and straight forward video with easy to hear narration. Thank You!
Good to hear, thank you very much for the feedback!
Looks great! How do you make that mold?
I use a sandcasting called petrobond. Simply put you press whatever you want to make into the mold. I'm going to make a detailed video on how to make these molds in the near future.
If I had a black gold oxide powder would this process work to smelt away the oxides?
No, I do not believe that would work. In fact, I believe it would just end up leaving additional sediments in your gold or silver. I would recommend sticking with borax, it is cheap and works very well.
Thanks much appreciated.
No problem, thx for watching 👍
What about silver plated items, how would you strip that off of items?
No, there's not actually enough silver in plated jewelry or silverware etc to make it worth 'stripping off'. Same even goes with gold plated, profit ratio isn't there.
Where do you sell?
Facebook groups 👍
facebook.com/groups/842202330901861/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT
Your using WAY to much heat 😅 wave a torch over the coin for 10 seconds or so. From at least 3-4 inches back
I'll give that a try.... Someone also mentioned just using something weaker like a 'creme brulee torch'.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife yea. Just go to the gas station and buy a torch lighter. Itl most likely turn shades of yellow before the colors really start popping but you can only try 2-3 times on each coin before the other 10% alloys are fused together entirely, witch turns it FROSTED white, like in your video and from that point, tumbling it or polishing it is the only thing thatl recover the silver itself
@IndianaMint thanks for the tips, I will give this a try and maybe do a video on it.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife very well :) I have an a6400/a6400 studio but haven't had time to edit videos. I may start doing shorts. But good luck. I think coin conservation is amazing and I'm quite passionate about restoration and conservation
Torch works 100% its alot more even than sulfure
Thanks i think ill buy the testing solution or at least the potassium dichromate? Im guessing a little bit last a long time. Ive never been lucky finding silver in goodwill. However theres silver everywhere in electronics and people throw those away like candy wrappers. I think i found a bunch of silver plated stuff.
I didn't think about that with the electronics. I might have to go through some of my old stuff before I scrap it.
how did you shape the graphite, and where can you buy bulk graphite like that? and where did u get your silver bullion? thank you!
Hey, I got this particular graphite mold from eBay. You can find various graphite molds on both eBay and Amazon these days. However for the most part I really prefer to pour in petrebond molds which can be double-sided or single-sided depending on what you want to do. You can buy silver shot which is what I use almost exclusively for all of my pieces. Silver shot can be bought online at places like apmex.com, but I purchase virtually all of my silver shot from Facebook groups and I have since found two people that are very reliable and priced a little bit better than Apmex for example.
Beautiful Morgans you Selling any?
There not mating lol there both males
Well then that's good to know... 😆
Who will buy at that price?
You'd be surprised... Rising prices create FOMO (fear of missing out) as well as bring attention to precious metals to newcomers. But you're right there's always hesitation to those already in the market when prices jump.
That's the point its been undervalued so long we think we're getting ripped off when the only dudes getting jacked are the physical holders it has been so infuriating over the years for us 🤕
many people said who are going to buy silver at $30 when it was $15 lol
@surasak_es335music6 Yep, I actually started getting into silver right at that time. In fact it was just below $15...
40 dollar silver is a joke... Think much higher
I think that will heavily depend also on the industrial market in addition to the investment side..?
I got 1k ounce. I ounce silver rounds bullion
Very nice...!
Hello i was wonder which torches you used in your "how to melt silvet and pour into a mold" video a response would be appreciated thank you. ruclips.net/video/ytLAGVn-KHg/видео.htmlsi=Cc5--nCxs9ZT-IBi
Hi, The one I had heating up my mold was a Bernzomatic TS 4000 and the one I use as a handheld is a Bernzomatic TS8000. You can see them and other items I recommend for melting in the video below 👇 ruclips.net/video/XVQFdvp6pYk/видео.htmlsi=elbCZET-yfMu54kW
I think silver will hit $40.00 an oz by the end of June, 2024 and $100.00 an oz by the end of October, 2024. The "so called" experts said silver would not hit $30.00 an oz until the end of 2024, they were wrong AGAIN! Everything has speeded up now that the economic collapse has sped up and we are all going to be amazed at what silver does over the next 6 months--in my opinion!! Thanks for the great video!!!
That would be pretty amazing, I hope you're right!
Wrong
Very informative with you addressing some of the nuances of how it all works
Thank you for the feedback!
hey my glazed crucible starts to crack when i stop applying flame to it,is it the air outside thats cooling it off to fast and cracks and chip off ?
It's very normal to hear what sounds like a cracking noise, however there should not be any actual visible cracks. Your glaze or borax should also not be chipping off, If it is you may need a better quality borax. Every time you use your crucible and heat it up it will make cracking noises when you are done as it's cooling off.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife its small hairline cracks like a spiderweb, but the borax i bought from amazon, it still seems to work as ive melted some stuff already
You should be fine, I've used crucibles with hairline cracks in them before. Use your best safety judgement.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife ok
You can dissolve silver and copper in a mix of salt and vinegar, it makes a blue-green crystalline powder that can be melted. I learned this but I have no idea how to purify the silver from the copper. Is it technically an electrolytic solution?
do you need to sprinkle and heat up some borax onto a new ceramic crucible prior to pouring the silver in the crucible ?
Yes, you need to use borax to glaze your crucible prior to using it to melt any silver or gold in it. In fact I have the video on that right here. 👇 ruclips.net/video/JBF-Oy-LkXc/видео.htmlsi=caQdBxOMErFZmGvz
Love the videos! How long do your filters last in your fume hood? I assume carbon?
Thank you! Yes they are carbon filters. I've only done 3 processes of silver refining so it hasn't gotten that much use. I bought the fume hood with a new filter but the seller didn't know how long they last and at the time I didn't find much good info online either.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife Ok great I appreciate. Looking into fume hoods now but you are right I'm not finding great info on this. Keep up the great videos!
@MN11197 If you do find anything out please pass along the info. Thank you! 👍
@@JoshuaAndersonLife Will do.
Decided to try chat GPT and here's what it told me: Carbon filters in fume hoods typically need to be replaced every 1 to 3 years, depending on the type of chemicals they are filtering, the frequency of hood use, and the concentration of fumes.
Thank you, a very good instruction! I see youave silver nuggets in a flask... where did you buy them? And wahta about bronze? Can I buy nuggets somwhere to?
Thank you! I buy most of my silver shot from Facebook groups, I can set you up with them if you'd like. But you can also buy online from Apmex for example.
Fixin to give this a shot. I majored in chemistry in college so i feel like i should be able to do it. That was also 20 years ago and i didn't graduate so i guess itll be a toss up
It's not real difficult.... Just make sure you get good nitric acid.
Good video covering a key topic. I have an 1882-cc GSA Morgan that I will be sending in at some point. Did not know about the different methods employed by each grading company until now. I do like PCGS putting it in another holder, but don't like fact it renders the original box as useless. Tough call there, but if I can't get past it, will go with NGC. Thanks, again!
Thank you, I typically use PCGS for all of my grading except for GSAs I send to NGC. I also find NGC tends to give a little bit better grades on the GSAs.
Put some Vinegar on it and set it in bright sunlight or put it under a bright light bulb and see what happens.
It is not Steel it will not change colors when you heat it.
Do you know that a Morgan is Work Hardened from lots of Pinging both at the Mint and in Circulation and when you heat it up you loose the hardening. You need to Hammer Ping the Coin to re-Harden it. If you don't it will be soft like Silver Bullion.
I have never Toned a Morgan. I am thinking about Gun Bluing a Morgan though.
Somebody replied telling me that if they use a lower heat torch like is used for creme brulees that they've had good luck with toning. I might give it a try at some point, but not really something I'm very interested in doing to any of my coins anyway.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife I googled that. Yeah you funny LOL
😆
How do you know that is not a Proof.
Are you talking about the Morgan that I heat treated and toned?
@@JoshuaAndersonLife Yeah The Basin Polishing looks Proof. I'm still learning myself, Just submitted two coins to PCGS to see if they are Proofs. They have the wide Rim though. I'll know more when they come back. I could be wrong, I am a Rookie.
eZest, from the MSDS is Urea and Sulfuric Acid
👍
@@JoshuaAndersonLife oops I meant MSDS
Warning : a1878 Morgan Proof does not have Luster.
Buddy, Buddy, Buddy... I am indeed going to roast you, and it's well deserved! You have to tell us the Year & Mint of these Morgans, but didn't. Sheeshk! 🤔🤨🤐
Haha, I hear you.... They're all common date Morgans and nothing to significant about them. Like I mentioned once or twice in the video, for me I was really paying for the promotional aspect more than the Morgans themselves. But you're right, I should have at least quickly mentioned the year and mint of each... Thank you for the feedback. 👍
These are amazing and rare to see. Love the history behind these. Very nice.
Thank you very much for the feedback! Looks like you may be in the business, or at least a collector.? Have you seen any other promotional type of Morgans out there by chance?
I have a peace dollar in a little plastic snap like yours but they are just a little rectangular about the size of a business card. I hear it was from the 60s as well. This is why I like the GSAs they have a historical value and good story behind them as well as silver and numismatic Vaule.
@KY_Coins_and_Collectible-wk7xx Nice! I also love GSAs, they're probably my overall favorite to collect!
Very interesting
Thank you! 👍
Can you use this method to remove/separate the impurities and other metals from 925 silver to get .999 silver ?
It will still remove impurities, just not metal impurities and won't improve the fineness of your silver.
Many thanks , just getting into this kind of thing as have lots of .925 silver , and was wondering ifnthere was a non chemical way of removing the other metals other than with acids
Unfortunately there's really not. Check out some videos by Streetips he does all kinds of crazy stuff with refining gold and silver.
Very interesting video, thank you for sharing these. Your the first channel I have seen collect promotional Morgans, so this part of the hobby is new to me.
Thanks awesome, thank you for the comment!
No way an MS 65 for the CC dollar you are sending in. At best it is a 64.
I did send it into NGC and it got an MS65! Here's the video results if you'd like to see it for yourself. ruclips.net/video/F55oHamAkaY/видео.htmlsi=wxg_ftAzrkA9XXQ5
@@JoshuaAndersonLife That is why I always buy the coin and not the holder, as most experienced coin collectors will tell you. Also, PCGS is more strict in their grading than NGC based on my experience. Grading services ruined the coin collecting hobby by encouraging flippers and speculators and inappropriately driving up the price of all coins. Unfortunately, we are where we are today.
I agree, I also buy the coin and not the holder. But I'm also not going to complain about getting a 65 when I would have been happy with a 64. I also prefer PCGS and it's where I send everything except GSAs.
So unique. I love it!!
Thank you! I'm loving anything promotional right now. Do you have any, or have you seen anything other than in this video?
@@JoshuaAndersonLife I've only ever seen it before in one of your previous videos. I don't own any.
👍
I use a small creme brulee/kitchen butane torch for artificially toning clad, silver and copper coins. The result in time and practice creates some absolutely stunning toned coins. Direct heat at the tip of the flame typically results in an overheat and no good colors. Combination of low heat from a distance, heat cool reheat, different angles, allowing unburned fuel to react on the hot surface and much more. I find the best is on proof or high MS grade coins that have minimal to no surface contamination from finger tips, environmental factors etc
Interesting! Thank you for the info, I might have to give that a try!
@@JoshuaAndersonLife of course I do this on common coins after first verifying no varieties or errors etc.
Thats amazing! Fab work ❤Are they just concrete blocks you are using please? Im just researching at the moment for all the items i need ❤
Thank you, yes just simple concrete 'bricks/blocks'. You might be interested one of my newer videos, 'Everything you need to start pouring at home'. ruclips.net/video/XVQFdvp6pYk/видео.htmlsi=piyiPdeidPilPM_N
I agree with PCGS on this one. Honestly, that's TOO MUCH toning, and the scratch marks are self-evident. I wouldn't want it.
Thanks for the feedback, I don't disagree about the scratches. However, the toning ads significant premium to the value on this Morgan. While toning isn't for everyone it's quite nice on this coin and definitely adds value to those who like toning.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife ~ I am not unfamiliar with toning, JA. What I said is this coin has TOO MUCH of it. One might like whiskey, too; but that doesn't mean they want to drink a keg of it. The toning on this coin is so egregious, it places the source into question; especially when one factors in the scratches. Just one opinion.
Monster toning or toning that covers the entire side of the coin is always more desirable than partial toning. Just take a look at eBay comps. I'm a member of a toned Morgan group on Facebook that has a few thousand members in it and I assure you everyone would prefer the toning on this coin over partial toning. But to each their own.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife ~ What next, JA; my Daddy can beat up your Daddy? 😂
Your cemented silver is NOT 99.9 fine silver. It still has traces of copper in it, reducing it to 98% silver. If you used the lye and sugar method it would be 99.9%
That's possibly the best silver pour i've ever seen, at least without higher temps. thx!
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!
Awesome. Soooper sweet
the ones you want will be labeled uncirculated on the gsa dollar, you got the cheaper much cheaper version
If they have any toning on them at all they do not get the uncirculated designation from GSA. If they also have a lot of heavy bag marks on them They will also not get the uncirculated designation. I like toning so I will often buy them without having the uncirculated label on them. So not having the "uncirculated" does not always mean that they are going to be a cheaper version. I have some that are graded MS65 by NGC that do not have the uncirculated.
No way that first coin is 65. It's a CC coin, just leave it alone. Cheers.
Yeah it's closer to 64, but I agree not 65...
Nice collection.
Thank you! It's a fun hobby and hopefully we'll see silver shoot up!
Have you tried Casting Dice?
No but I like the idea! Thank you!
