Plus cost of time

Very interesting video, I thought cement silver was above 97% pure so I’m confused

Quick math and I knew the answer before I clicked the video. But a chunk of silver from 20 war nickels isn't worth as much as the coins because you have to prove it's pure silver to most buyers, and the quickest way to do that is hand them U.S. mint coins with silver. U.S. silver bullion and coins with silver always carries a premium over a poured bar or coin. Even if it's from a reputable private mint. A silver Morgan dollar isn't even a full ounce (or pure silver), but it's worth about the same as an ounce .999 bar from a non government mint. I don't even buy most bars. I only buy are silver eagles, U.S. "junk" coins, Euros, and Australian silver. The only bars I buy are Pamp. There's a premium on them for a reason.

Refining multiple times is pretty standard.

30 years of no mask or gloves and I’m still breathing

We are now at an all time gold high for the US dollar, we could easily see Hyperinflation with in the next presidency.

I know this is an older video, but when you were costing out the experiment with the nitric acid, copper and water. You probably should also think about the cost of electricity with the beaker warmer and your forge. Just a thought, since they are both electric. Great Video, I was very fascinated in the topic.

9% Manganese is anything but "negligible."

I'm confused- if $1.40 in 90% = 1 oz, how does only $1.00 in 35% = 1 oz?

Wow it’s over $35 in 2024

Hi... Nice channel. I have 6 lbs of computer pins and contacts from mostly old computers.. Just wondering if you want to work out a deal where we both would make out if you would like to do the refining.. thx

Diggin the left handed hot plate tho

Isn't melting or destroying any U.S. coins illegal? Seems like I remember reading that somewhere.

Greatly appreciate your content and other alike. I havnt found myself yet. I think this chemistry smelting will be a nice hobby for me.

Roughly $25 worth of silver?

Where sreetips when you need him😂

Nickels are still a form of currency. I'm not sure you should be defacing US currency.

Sounds like all this would cost way more in materials (not to mention time/labor) than the value of the silver...not to mention these DIY melting down of silver/copper coins looks REALLY dangerous if it's not done real careful-like.

Like to keep my aluminum positive; not enough positivity in the world today.

I left a like because its for science

I told em 🤷🏼‍♀️

The law has always been for U.S. mintage coins for the metal commodity is what in 1789 they were minted for. The Forefathers made sure we had a sound economic system in the United States as there was in Spain, France and Great Britain's economies ... This eventually all of Europe by the end of World War II. The U.S. government cannot sue a European country for melting U.S. coins of gold, silver or copper to be used how that foreign country had that coin. Therefore the U.S. government doesn't have an equal right to impede U.S. citizens from acquiring easily the same commodities for them to compete Internationally using the results of coinage melting. Jewelers world-wide became the first to be able to get their gold or silver commodities from mines as well as from melting coins. In fact, in the 1880s one of my numismatist gold $5 piece may be a counterfeit coin from then. Magnifier glass inspection showing lines combined, gold metal micro flaking of other metal impurities, etc. being to question whether my $5 gold piece was made by the U.S. mint or by a counterfeiter. It is not a problem in materials of gold bullion from 1880s of this possible $5 counterfeited gold coin. The strip metal gold reaction on a scratched surface, the ping sound of the metal, the 1970s jewelers instruments etc. said the same 90 percent gold and 10 percent copper (or so) made up the coin real and authentic from the U.S. mint or not. Of course since the bullion metal value was less than $5 USD other comparisons then it was made to counterfeit a lessor $5 USD into the U.S. banking economics of the 1880s of U.S. mint coinage.

Yuppers! I knew it was legal to do so under certain circumstances. I even commented if it's for entertainment purposes it's completely legal.

Just FYI: Any person who exports, melts, or treats 5-cent coins or one-cent coins of the United States in violation of § 82.1 shall be subject to the penalties specified in 31 U.S.C. 5111(d), including a fine of not more than $10,000 and/or imprisonment of not more than 5 years.

Some of those copper ones looked like they had some nice toning it looked like to me

This is sad

Is this legal???

Interesting science 🤔 experiment 🤔 😊

oh that's gore... that's gore of my comfort character

Bu Numbers would be a good bit higher!

@12:28 what brand and length are these gloves?

@9:07 what brand of natural-rubber chlorinated black gloves are you wearing? unlined? trident?

every time a war nickle is destroyed mine get more valuably? i dislike this, but "for science" is agreeable... so i am conflicted.

I don't like nickels war nickels I heard they're 35% AG most smelters don't like them, they want 90 or more.

Destroying history for clicks. Hooray.

Next time stir the solution the next day with the copper still in it. Some silver nitrate gets trapped in the cemented silver at the bottom. It will increase yields

Federal law prohibts destruction of U S. Currency ?

YOU CAN REFINE 35% SILVER FROM EACH NICKEL ... AND THEY ARE WORTH MORE AS A NICKEL THEN YOU WILL EVER GET FROM THE SILVER VALUE.

So cool!

Think its definitely not cost effective on 1 oz lol what's the cost i wonder 🤔 I see everyone telling it not worth buying them for 35% but a silver dollar is? 🤔 They have 90% but you'll never get a true ounce for $1 coin and it baffles me you can on nickels ???????? Anyone else thinks it doesn't make sense?😂 IMO war nickel and 40% ½ are THE best deals on silver prices to add cheap weight in ur stack . Even todays newest US issue coins wo any metal is great to have ,as you'll atleast get your monies worth in a shtf sinerio .( At beginning that is more so then Fiat bills)

Pointless

Cool video, but I’m sure you could’ve found something else to demonstrate other than using coins that can’t be reproduced.

Thinking of melting down all my slick STQs and mercury dimes.

Emry cloth works better that's what you use to clean pipe before sweating

You just need a copper rod to stick in there doesn't need to be cut up

I like this video, but you do know that's illegal, though....I hope....and you posted the evidence on RUclips

Destroying war nickels to get the raw silvers shows this poor guy probably has a brain tumor.

You need vacuum breaker

Bro gloves!!!!!

Did u ever hear about borax? Google it and try it.
