Is It Silver? Volume 3: Well, Kinda 

Excellent educational video. If you want to know silver, you need to know this information. Please keep the great productions coming. Old man stacker here.

Learned a lot here. Love the destructive demonstration of 10% sterling weight in that piece.

Thanks for your time. I do the same brass, sterling whatever holds value.

Hey, I am going to try to take over for my Father who's just not getting better. So, I have returned from Asia to help take care of him and help mom out. If you want to do a live show on scrape silver and I am going to be redoing Silver picture frames. I have a problem with the feeling in my hands but I can still do the metal work. Next time take a hammer hit it not so hard and you will just peal it back. We actually had a talk about how much silver and what companies were Thin and then the heavier. The weighted candle sticks are 1.4 to almost 2oz in scrap but some are even thinner. But I am going to try to get these picture frames back out to their owners once I redo the backing with new fabric and backing boards. I'm not going to do the pin cushions with ring holders hidden under the cushion. Those are to much work for me the picture frames are bigger and easier for me to work on lol. After a work related accident I have lost a lot of feeling in my hands and arms. But Dad was 1 of the Top in the Country in redoing the picture frames for Dealers especially on the East Coast. Thanks for these videos

Excellent video, youtube sent me here and I'm glad it did! You just ran through a bunch of things I learned over the past couple years by trial and error.

Reminds me of a old Tin Can !

Awesome

Very interesting - thank you

Great content!

very nice

I have rampaging children interrupting me, but I have two questions/suggestions for the video series. One; Will you cover "Silver Soldered"? I find pieces with that label and the information online is all over the place as to what actual silver content is in there (if any?).

I was at a antique Mall today and i was going to buy a 4 piece coffee set. The markings on it said 715-E silver over copper they wanted $25 for the set but didn't know howmuch silver it contained. In your opinion should I go back and pick it up?? I was just going to sell it for the silver but i could not find how much silver it was. 🇺🇲🦅⚖️

Second question; Will you delve into "world silver"/coin silver? I've been fortunate in my ~3 years of silver stacking (mostly flatware/hollowware/mixed/weighted, rarely coins), to have access to a pawn shop with an XRF machine to confirm silver content for me. All of my actual deals from dealers have been on strangely marked (european/african) or coin silver (unmarked). In truth my hobby now is learning to ID real silver with weird markings vs plate/nickel.

Too much repetition

missed it by that much 🤏.
