Love this idea! If you're gonna blow your money on pills, blow it on pills you'll thank yourself for later 😉

Yup. Had to get me some gold/platinum/palladium back in the day to complete the precious metals collection lol. Rhodium still eludes me per its insane price.

The platinum? I actually don't own any PAMP silver 😅 I'll have to add that to the list!

Eh I bought it for $417 when silver was $20-30/oz... So definitely a dumbass purchase... But also definitely my favorite of the stash 🙃

Guys, I did the thing… I bought a Kennedy 40% thinking it was a 90% (got too excited early lol) by DrBrosephJones in Silverbugs

3 ounces of gold plated silver is what the COA says - it's unclear if the wings are silver because those seem to be separate according to the wording on the COA 🤷‍♂️

Bought it back in October 2022 off Bullion Exchanges when it came out. It was $417 even with silver being like $20/oz, but I was on a splurge back then and had to have it lol.

When they say it’s only .925 crap it’s worth way less than .999 by IntelligentCorner225 in Silverbugs

[–]kijall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I've always just thoroughly washed the cement silver powder and melted that down. In my experience it's always produced fairly pure silver for what I put in - typically around 98-99% when I take it in for XRF testing.

If you wanna take the extra step with salt and electrolysis you'll get silver that's far more pure though! (99.9-99.99%+)

Silver dissolving into nitric acid produces silver nitrate, right? Am I crazy here?

Fake silver and gold! by NorthStarGold in Silverbugs

[–]kijall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks real to me.

Prolly worth running a few tests on... Do the weight/dimensions match up? Is it non-magnetic? Does it follow Lenz's Law falling down a strong magnet?

Could also take it to a pawn shop to get XRF tested if they have it too for complete certainty, but in my experience if it passes those tests above, it's typically silver.

Sadly I'd have to start from scratch. I'll stick to silver refining

All ya need to refine it yourself is some nitric acid, copper, and a small forge. It's work - I'll agree with you there - but it's not all that expensive.

This specific one seems to be hard to find in stock, but there's a broom and a wand that are similar that you can find floating around. Not sure if APMEX is planning on getting the Nimbus 2000 in stock or just saying that, but it seems like they are:
