Turning old jewelry into pure gold bars

Follow-up video on NileBlue (my second channel): • Cleaning up my gold waste
A few months ago, one of my patrons sent me a bunch of old gold jewelry for me to refine. I originally thought that it was going to just be some gold plated stuff, but it turned out to be quite a bit of gold. I was able to purify out all of the gold and then melt them down into some small 24K pure gold bars.

You’re kind of obligated to be honest in a situation like that. By any means, even if it were greed. That gold was worth less than $4,000. His video brought in more money than that. And not only that, if he were to scam them out of their gold, he would potentially lose all credibility and his channels would be finished. (They both make hundreds of thousands combined annually) If he were a poor man, and no one was watching him, and he could get away with it with no risk, that’s how you know it was done out of honesty. I’m not ripping on Nile btw, we don’t know him personally, I’m just saying that there can always be more depth and reasoning to someone’s actions and demeanour.

Isn't my area of knowledge per se, but its a datejust 36 16203 (80s). The magnification on cyclops looks all wrong which makes me think that it is either a counterfeit or that the crystal was replaced with an aftermarket sapphire / glass (perhaps it broke). Regardless, more of a $3.5-4K than a $17K watch.

[@taranmcallister4330]

@@lukaszerecinski5376 my guess is that it was just replaced. I feel like if someone was trying to pass a counterfeit there’s no way they would use a crystal with such an ugly cyclops 😭 but idk.

@@taranmcallister4330 based on what I can see I’m pretty sure it is fake.

It's only valuable because people believe it is so. The Aztec were confused as fuck by the Spanish obsession with gold as they did not see it as valuable. They put value in people, as in slaves and/or serfs, and the things people actually produced as in food or manufactured goods.

Just FYI, for anyone who says putting your money into precious metals is stupid. That amount of gold would be worth roughly $5100 USD today, only 4 yrs later. Of course gold isn’t an investment to make a quick buck, but it’s a safe way to store your wealth over time.

[@king_Kylfa]

For anyone watching this on or near 1/08/2023 (August) The money the fan would have been able to get had they sold it straight away upon returning it. Based on average the spot price around April 2019 for 81.31g or 52.29 dwt and factoring in a standard fee for retail sale they would have got about $3202. If they sold it today using the same calculation it would have got them $4869, both prices in USD.
