Great piece Jeff and thank you for sharing
Thanks again Jeff. Love my #17
💛
Simply Amazing Jeff. A true work of art.
I can't believe how much detail comes through in the headdress, looks awesome!!!!
Awesome Jeff. Can’t wait to get mine. 👍
That was awesome! Love the classic die! Thanks for sharing as always Jeff👊🏻
Thanks for watching Derek!
Hey, I just found your channel through Instagram, I never knew this is what you did in the lab. So awesome!!
You are a master in this field. You made me happy like a child ... :)
Nice work!👍😁
Magnificent..love your work.
Thank you Annette!
Really awesome! I would have just asked for scrap gold over melting a Britannia, but if it’s what he had then it’s what he had. Amazing job as always!!
Beautiful piece there Jeff!!!
Very nice piece
Nice, thanks for the video...........
Beautiful 👍
Great Job Jeff
I like your work , please enable subtitles for those who have hearing problems like me.
Thanks in advance
Dang, I think they are enabled... I'll have to look into it. Thanks!
Found your channel two days ago. Can't stop watching your vids. Love the work you do. Need your skills in Canada
Glad to hear you enjoy my work, thanks for saying so! 😁
Although sacrificing a Britannia just hurts me deeply, your end product looks fantastic. I think you should make another one but, instead of the Indian Head, you should use a representation of Alexander the Great like on those ancient silver tetradrachms from 300-400BC. Ancient coins were often quite thick and one that you would make in the style of an ancient Greek coin would look amazing.
Alexander would be fun!
And a good female would be awesome too @@LithicMetals
That's excellent 👏
Appreciate you watching! 😁
As always, you do amazing work! I don't know if I could have sacrificed the britannia tho 😅
Nice job very well done.
Thanks Steven!
So Cool !!!!!
Wow!! That is awesome
Great work!!
How many tonne press are you using?
How come you heated the coin up again?
Can you also confirm that no gold is lost when melting like silver?
Thanks! It's a 12 ton press. After the gold is pressed, it becomes hard. Heating it up to red hot makes it malleable again.
Superb is right, well worth the Brit , I’m going to start sending you coins …. lol
Thats way better then a Britannia. You can pick them up anywhere.
💛
How do you learn this stuff? Looks like a really relaxing job.
I've had some cool jobs over the years, but this has def been the best. I learned by reading CM Hoke's book, studying online, and then by trial and error 😁
A f@#@# ing Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
youre a master crafstman
Thanks Pete 😁
Way cooler now
Jeff
I need more
💛
How long do you keep it in nitric acid?is there another way to get the glaze off it without acid?
I want you to do this for me too haha that’s cool
The end product in this thumbnail is far cooler than normal gold coins
I appreciate hearing that, Ed! Thanks for watching!! 😁
It is a beautiful die. Every time I see it I start to like it more and more.
Hey Jeff how much the press cost ?
I have several, but the one I used in this video is only a 12 ton. I've seen them for $200-$300. The size needed depends on the size of the die. Also I don't like using too much force on my vintage dies. But you'd be surprised at what you can get done with a 12 ton, which are reasonably priced.
@@LithicMetals thanks a lot
good job could you tell me where I could safely buy gold
Hey Juan. From me of course! Lol well... what's best for you does depend a bit on where you live. Personally, I have my favorite precious metals group on Facebook in which I mostly buy and sell. But it takes a little time to find the group or groups that's best for you. Secondly if you have a local coin shop, then you can take a hands on look at what you're buying. Third would be any major mint. An online search may be deceiving at first, stick to the big mints until you familiarize yourself with what's out there.
WOW
😁
Pretty cool. But it went from 9999 to only 999. I assume you're accounting for any gold loss or impurities introduced, due to a lack of controlled, laboratory environment?
I mark 3nines instead of 4nines simply because when I started refining I felt it was presumptuous to claim my work was at 4nines. My pieces do indeed test out at 4nines, but I've kept the .999 anyway... I may change that one day, I don't want folks thinking they're receiving an inferior product, slight as that may be.
Thanks for watching by the way! 😁
hey mate, how do i deal with brass in solution ?. alot of my silver plated items ive been dissolving in nitric were silver over brass
Have you dissolved it all and now you're ready to drop the silver? If so, I'd say it's not much different than copper in solution.
@@LithicMetals yeah some copper has gone into solution. When i noticed some plated items were brass i removed them once the silver had dissolved. I tried using hcl to drop the silver but i ended up with two layers, brass chloride on the bottom then silver chloride on top of that.
So ive totally dried it all to a powder then dissolved it all back into nitric
I meant to say some brass has gone into solution
@@LithicMetals i havent got any clean shiny copper to use. Only old weathered ones from an old hot water system. I tried using them but ended up with a pile of brown bubbles
@@prospectorpete yeah... brass/copper it shouldn't make much difference in the experiment. I'm not certain why you had two layers, I don't drop silver like that... so it really is beyond my scope of knowledge.
May have been a collectable coin, but you cant take it with you when youre dead, so have fun.
What is that un-burnable material?
I assume you mean the white matting under the dish? That's fire resistant fiberglass insulation. Really holds in the heat.
What is unit of this .999?
What is unit of this 999.9?
It's about how many parts per 1000... as in 999 parts out of 1000 or 99.99% of 100.00%. The higher the nines, the purer the material. 😀
@@LithicMetals .999 + .001 = 1 so 999 parts of 1000 Fine Gold in this example.
-----------------------------------
999.9 unit ‰ so 999.9‰ = 99.99% of gold in this example.
What if I send you 10,15, 20 ounces? Can you make me a Cool Bar or Something? Would that be dumb to melt down nice coins and bars? I guess it's up to the individual.
I'd be happy to pour you a few pieces! I can be reached at lithicmetals@gmail.com
It really does come down to what makes the collector most happy. However, if some had many pieces with real solid premiums, it may indeed best best to sell them and aquire shot.
Do you sell these?
I do, indeed. 🙂
Can I get your email please
How dare you melt down the Queen of England.....
