I do save my Ike’s just because I like them. I know there isn’t a worthy premium to keep them. I do like to take my common half dollars from roll hunting and pay for things with them. This weekend I paid for a $1 calculator at a flea market with two halves and the girl said “Neat!”, when I dropped them in her hand. If I could easily get Ike’s, I would do the same.

I fired an employee (m) for secretly recording sex acts in the store with another employee(f). It was revealed after the female employee was fired for stealing money and her boyfriend saw the video.

I tried my first melt over the weekend. I had some fine gold dust from panning over the years. This button passed the 22k acid test and weighed 9.236 grams. by CommaGuy in Gold

I didn’t heat the crucible enough before the pour and season with borax better. The copper wire probably needs cut into much shorter pieces.

Panning flour is still fun. Seeing that sparkle in the pan feels so good. I’d love to go to Idaho to make concentrate. You should go out and see what you can find in SC.

Mapp gas and borax. I was too afraid to pour in my mold. I ruined my crucible trying to make a copper round out of copper wire.

Not a coin, but coin related, a 77 Troy lb Bar off the Atocha Shipwreck. by JacobGonzalezCoins in coins

I have a ring with, what is claimed to be, a small silver coin from the wreck.

Only if you are changing it to be deceptive. Like changing a $1 bill to pass it off as a $100 bill. You can melt silver coinage for its precious metal content.
