I went ahead and ordered a few more things from apmex today. A 2 ounce libertad and also a 5 oz. And a little 5 gram secondary market gold bar. I keep having the feeling I'm holding too much cash and metals are about to shoot up with Biden sniffing the neck of the economy now. I'd rather trust my gut and a little more savings is always good.
At long last these arrived in the mail recently, only just got access to a decent camera to take photos. I tried with my phone, but it's a potato.
I haven't looked, but I also haven't seen any Biden coins, who tf would buy them? He has zero enthusiasm behind him. Trump is the God Emperor.
Interestingly XRF'd at just on .990 purity despite it being listed as .925. Could it perhaps be a jeweler's copy or just bad alchemy 120 years ago when it was made? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11590.html
2 German medals/rounds, both XRF'd as .999 purity. Can anyone shed any light on who minted them? - I'm thinking it's a German Mint as the little "1000" at the bottom of both coins is a German designation of pure silver I believe. Any info would be appreciated as they are not on Numista unfortunately (all the marks are on the capsule, not the coins) 30 Years - Social Market Economy 1948-1978 10th Anniversary of the Death of Konrad Adenauer
I didnt buy but i pulled a bunch of copper pipes out of the dumpster at work some ignoramus threw away. I want to try to melt them down with my oxy/acetelyne torch and pour a bar for fun. Has anyone tried this? I was just going to order a mold kit thing on amazon and see what happens.
I found some YouTube videos but my internet sucks here. I'm traveling for work this week so I'll watch them in the hotel.
