Christ, I WISH silver was $27.21 today! I'd have doubled my money from hoarding in the $13-$14 range over the past year. How do I have an average of $13-14 when silver has been mostly in the $15-16 range all year? Trade secret!

Yes they are much more valuable as antiques but if nobody wants it or trying to give you a low-ball price for it what the hell would I want to keep it for it could be the best antique in the world but if I can't get the right money for me it is basically junk or stand scrap

Those pieces are much more valuable as antiques than silver scrap value because someone worked hard to craft them. By scrapping them like cheap made in China products you've erraticated their value to mere scrap. Congrats, your labor created a product worth less than the original materials.

Not necessarily false, but the market for these items as antiques, collectibles even simply up-scale household items is extremely small (think fraction of a fraction of a percent) as compared to the scrapping market.

You keep calling silver plate sterling as if sterling was another word for silver. Sterling is 92.5% silver mixed with something, usually copper. Only that percentage of silver is called sterling. Pure silver isn't even sterling.

What's the point of weighing it before breaking it up if it's weighted
@dackjaniels878
@dackjaniels878 5 жыл бұрын
If you weigh it before and after disassembling it, you can calculate the proportion and percentage of actual silver vs. weighting material (cement, nails, plaster, epoxy, even sand.) This information can then be used to "guesstimate" the amount (and value) of silver in similar FUTURE purchases.

Frankly, I think many of these videos are inconsistent and full of misinformation. In the last 20 minutes, I've watched several youtube vids on silver testing, and they all say something different--that real silver turns blue, no it turns dark red, no it turns creamy white. WTF? IMHO, get yourself a piece of REAL silver (sterling or some other high silver content), test it with your solution and method (whatever it is), and then look for that same or similar response in other items you are testing to be relatively certain of what you have. Remember, if the item is plated, you may just be testing the thin outer layer if you put a drop of some solution on it.

You are absolutely right. Very misleading ``testing``. Silver-plated and gold plated items can have rather thick surface plated layer, either silver or gold, and actually made of worthless base metal. The point is to FILE deep enough to reach potential base metal and then apply a drop of acid. Scratching on testing stone will leave enough silver deposit from silver plating to give false positive test. Questionable common sense.Who would buy a basket full of apples having seen only those on top ?

WITH THE SILVER ACID, IF IT WASNT SILVER WHAT COLOR WOULD IT HAD TURNED? YOU SAY IT TURNS RED IF ITS REAL, BUT THE SOLUTION ALREADY LOOKS REDISH. PLUS, CAN YOU JUST USE THE SILVER SOLUTION ON THE STONE?

Reaction is limited to the surface of the object so a silver plating would test positive for silver by chemical test.

They are two seperate test. If you scratch the silver on the test stone you use 18kt acid and the line should turn blue. If you file into the item and dip 14kt acid onto the area and it turns a creamy white it is a high purity silver. Hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions. I will be making more videos soon. Thanks for watching!

If you used the 18kt acid then it should turn blue. Another thing you can do is file into the item and dip 14kt acid onto it. If it turns a white creamy color it is a high purity of silver if it bubbles green then it is plated. Hope this helps.
