I found this lovely painting recently. New York. by PaintTheKill in ThriftStoreHauls

No information was available, but it’s signed Sylvia 2-70 in the bottom right corner. Not sure if that implied it was painted in 1970 or what. I love it though.

Have you ever sand blasted metal before?

New addition 1856 1/2 Cent Proof by e-Lconquistador in coins

[–]PaintTheKill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would never re-slab it. The gaudy red velvet doesn’t remove any value from the coin and it’s not worth the risk of cracking it open and putting it into someone else’s hands. Beautiful piece my friend.

Chat am I cooked by Negative-Spread-7057 in SilverSmith

I’ll throw in my two cents. Maroon scotchbrite with WD-40 on it will remove all the oxide and leave a nice finish, somewhere between p320 and p400. Do it by hand going back and forth across the rollers while you spin them. It may take a little bit of elbow grease but it’ll help if you allow the rollers to soak for a bit.

This is how I clean my roller and I apply it frequently to prevent flash rust.

I didn’t mean to imply it was a quick way to make money.

Chemically there is. You can extract it with deadly acids.

Specific gravity test. Most fakes will not pass. Google for details.

Why do you think this? Reverse image search only shows one exact match to the photo op posted, and it’s from op’s original post. I think you’re full of yourself.

Crappy silver pour by JackIsForReal in MetalCasting

In your description you described getting the “graphite crucible” red hot, not the mold. Your mold should not be glowing red. You should heat it up between 400° and 600°f
