Well it took some doing but I think I made a Silver Bar that I am proud of.

Enjoy friends

Is the first one on the house?

Looks great, Doc.

Are you selling these? If so, how much? NOTE: These are not coins

Thank you David.

Sweet!

Ill have to look into the process of making those, they are too cool not to!

Very nice. I assume all the evidence was cremated??

Sweet bars!

Also interested in price, they are pretty cool looking

Looks good man. So, how many times did you have to remelt and start over, hehe?

Deal

Sweet!!!

Very nice ! Good job!

How much?

I'm in.

Not sure if I will sell any of them at this time. Dad’s getting a few. One Realcent member in Cali that I owe a big thank you to is getting a free one tomorrow. As for the rest of them.........for now...... perfect for stacking.

Deal: About 50% of pours meet my approval for stamping. The others get cooked again repeat.

No, Doc, I live in Missouri.

And 50% isn't that bad at all. From the look of them, your standards are high. They are beauts.

Very nice. What did you melt to make them? ASE's?

No... 40% halves... but they're .999 Fine.... trust me

Thank you Peter........Shot from Market Harmony.

Good job doc, they look great!

You want Nixon back to give him what he deserves? I have to say, I'd like one myself

Torch or furnace?

Lowest purity I have ever cooked has been some yucky US 90% Face (in a non-production crucible aka... no cross contamination).......then send that scrap to Market Harmony and have him send back .999 shot as payout.

HA Steve......you still have Nixon!!!

Furnace.

How do you separate the copper from the silver? Is one heavier than the other? Can you skim it off? What?

Is there a simple step by step guide to going from 90% (or 40% or 35% or 80% or 50%) to .999 bars?

Is one step always to trade the "slag" for "silver shot"? Or can a normal person go the whole way through?

No Idea guys on the refining thing. I leave that to the pro. I just cast pure .999 Ag for ingot making. The sub .999 scrap gets melted down so more will fit in a flatrate box to ship off to my assayer.

For those who want a crack at one of these.......here is your chance.

Same thing here, I don't fool with refining.

Ya I still got Nixon, was waiting for a memory card and the right time to get it on film. I do all torch work, and that high relief would look cool I think as it goes.
