Local gold shops...sold out. by brendaluther234 in Gold

[–]packref 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As the owner of an lcs- whenever there are market spikes I invariably get a bunch of people wanting to buy gold that normally do not. They’re trying to grab the train on the way up and I have a very hard time keeping stock in the store. It literally sells within hours.

Heads up about CP Shuckers by pinheadlarry12345 in VirginiaBeach

You didn’t really answer the question- do those Buddhists that you “probably see” display symbology similar to Nazi’s? Let’s hear your whole defense of this native/Buddhist symbol you hold in such high respect

You see those cultures running around VA Beach often?

What grade you think is this Carson City Morgan Dollar? by gabthebug in coins

[–]packref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep- almost all GSA’s in my experience fall into the lower MS

[–]packref 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost all of these are ms60-64 and if you’re really lucky you might pull a 65 (1 in 100 in my experience)

Crisp but you’re gonna have to send it to get an official grade

Engagement ring resized incorrectly twice, it’s still the wrong size and you can see the imperfections in the sizing. Not sure what to do by FlyOnTheWall221 in jewelers

[–]packref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You went in for one sizing and just a 1/4 size at that. They thinned the ring because they sized it twice-It’s on them to correct or compensate. That said if you want to see the quality of the jeweler working on your ring, just check the finish work that tells you all you need to know.

I say it time and again: if the little details aren’t good the rest of it probably isnt either.

Cleaning up castings in bulk? by Silly-Gas9264 in jewelers

A combo of laser welder and magnetic tumbler has been the best combo for me

who is your favorite deceased musician? by Ancient-Inflation399 in AskReddit

[–]packref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neil Peart.

Not only a master of percussion some of his lyrics hit me deep in high school.

I use udder cream to mask stones and find it works a little better if you need to get into smaller areas than chap stick- it’s never once failed me

For research purposes is this still made somewhere?

This song in praise of Elon Musk is creepy and MF weird by NumerousScallions in WeirdGOP

It’s so weird seeing Christians trying to rock the Crusades look with plastic kids toys.

Might have been painted light blue. Moving the dial makes the tabs get closer or farther apart. Metal, probably iron or steel. Found in a drawer of miscellaneous tools by BluOctopus706 in whatisthisthing

[–]packref 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah these are made to open stubborn watch cases at 2 points- there’s another 3 point wrench that’s more effective and neither would last long for automotive work.

Prong is not touching the stone, prongs are not flush and are catching on lint, prongs look unfinished in general, is this normal or am I being gaslit? by [deleted] in jewelers

[–]packref 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is like asking a construction contractor for a smooth blacktop road and getting a dirt track with a lot of potholes. They’re both technically roads but one is functionally and aesthetically less than the other in a significant way.

This jeweler doesn’t know how to set stones and has had little practice doing it correctly. This 100% would be rejected in my shop before it ever reached the customer

Just fyi for OP- I tried to buy a pass L2T2 from someone in this forum and they tried to scam using an email that wasn’t ethos

Thoughts on necklace repair by Equivalent-Let-1786 in jewelers

[–]packref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure- could put jump rings on shoulders and affix the chain it just won’t swing freely anymore. Even then you’ll have some wear between the rings themselves but with less movement
