The toning could keep getting darker until it gets black? I doubt it is long term permanent.

great video. just use the apps on your phone. couldnt stand all the ringing though

Fascinating

Can you put a toned coin into a capsule to stop the coin continue to tone, other wise the coin changes over time. I don't think the toning makes the coin art, the coin design already makes it art. The toning makes the coin more unique, one of a kind. If we can stop the toning at a point we think is coolest with a capsule that would be cool.

Being old enough to remember when silver was in circulation I don't need anything to tell if a coin is real silver. When I hear a silver coin "ring" I KNOW what it is due to the many decades I have heard them. I am 70 this year so silver has been in my life since the 1950's.

Yes, I am the same age. I grew up in Carson City NV. Real Silver Dollars were still on most gaming tables up to 1963. In 64 most casinos went to tokens. Tokens were available in all casinos as an advertising souvenir until the change over. Then tokens became the replacement for Silver Dollars. Many Casinos contracted with the Franklin Mint to coin their tokens, some had 10% Silver content. Those were the days. Yes, there were some casinos that had copper tokens, wooden chips and other stuff, like plastic rounds. But the metal, especially the ones with a little Silver in them were the best.

Hi all, my son and I are still very new to stacking. Can anyone tell me what the silver coins with gold animals at time stamp 1:11 are? We’d love to know what the series is called so we can buy some. Our attempts at googling them have came up empty.

Not sure if this was in the other comments...but what's being described from 6:39 (going to one country to buy and sell at another for higher): the term for that is "arbitrage." That's actually a thing in finance or even in real life. You make $100k in California and take that same $100k to Missouri (for example) where cost of living is cheaper and that $100k goes farther. I'm not sure if arbitraging is a thing in precious metals (I doubt it.) If it were, it would need to make sense financially.

If somebody buys a fake coin without knowing it's fake and then tries to sell it, that doesn't mean that person is a criminal or a thief. My mother bought a gold coin years ago at a pawn shop and I just recently tried to sell it and it did not pass the sigma metalytics test. So now I need to find an XRF machine to find out the real contents of this coin.

Seems to me that the pitch of a coin should always be listed alongside its dimension and weight.

Spent the money I had saved for my first ounce to instead buy a Sigma Pro, peace of mind is worth it.

@@Portlandpreciousmetals well, it’s not to do on very high-grade Morgan dollars but it is a fun project to do with your son to get them into coin collecting. If you find a cull Morgan silver dollar and it does not work well on Peace dollars. Now the cull Morgan Dollar needs to be cleaned well with cream of tartar gently and a little bit of water, and then it needs to be etched with your preferred method of etching a metal. This could be anywhere from hydrochloric acid for a second to rubbing alcohol. Make sure you don’t touch with your fingers after it has dried. The older, the eggs, the better. In the sealed Tupperware set up some kind of a stand for the Coin. An old fork turned upside down works great, because the dollar fits right between the tines of the fork. On the other side of the Tupperware, smash the egg up after it’s hard, boiled and have it face whichever side you’re wanting to get the tone on the most. do not leave it in there very long at all. It will start reacting immediately. If it’s longer than 10 minutes it probably will be black or brown but one to two minutes you’ll get beautiful blue and some rainbow colors. Some of the Morgans do this wonderfully some do not it all depends on the Morgan to begin with. You do not want to do this. If it has the original striking layer on it this is just a fun project for Morgan’s that have been in circulation and are bought at melt value. it is artificial however, many of these are on eBay and they pass every day as real coins. I hate that people fall for it. I don’t sell on eBay but I see it all the time. It’s just for fun.

Possibly useless trivia: 1 oz gold eagle rings the same as a 1/2 oz silver aztec. (They are about the same diameter, and thickness)

You avoid fake gold by buying from reputable dealers, eBay gets such a bad rap when it comes to buying gold when all the major dealers are on there. It's not just individuals selling Eagles or any other coin, you have JM bullion, SD bullion, Liberty coin which is my favorite, Scottsdale mint, Apmex, another solid Company is BGASC.
