Turning Old Jewelry into a Pure Gold Bar 10oz 24K 

Thanks for that wonderful feedback. I very much appreciate you watching! 😁

The only precision here is his ability to nail the weight. The rest is being done right as I speak by shoeless peasants in mud huts the world over.

Yep it's hard to watch

I feel you. Wasting useful objects, easily worn, easily transported, easily shifted through checkpoints - to turn them into an ugly bar. These recyclers are actually calling themselves 'gold bar artists' now. So we're going to see a whole lot more history destroyed as people want ugly bars rather than beautiful minted bars from professional mints that are recognized the world over. I don't see pour stains as "art", and I don't see a rectangle as "something the whole family can enjoy" compared to jewelry with history, a story, etc. It's a damned shame, that is for sure.

Its an extremely common coin

@@zee-fr5kw Doesn't matter, the condition was fine enough to command a nice premium over spot and would be far more easy to sell then the refined bar made from it. That said, every time one is refined, its one more out of existence which increases its rarity, if only by a bit. To those of us holding on to them, thats great.

US coin collectors can't bear it 😅

Thanks for watching, Chris! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 💛

Idk what’s smoother your voice or that pour so beautiful

I appreciate it, Dan! Thanks for watching!! 😁

Sreetips would want you to pay attention.

I agree 100%. Gold coins are way special.

It was a waste honestly

Fuck your coins, all that matters is the metal. Numismatic value is fake.

The coin is only worth what a collector is willing to pay, but an OZ of gold will always have a set price.

These people are way too stupid to realize that the finished product is worth more than the material from which it's made.

It was once mounted in a bezel.... but I get lol

Same here…! I nearly start crying…! 😢😢😢

Another relic of a once great country gone...

@@LithicMetalsThat makes me feel a little better about it lmao

😢

They were amazing pieces. Well worn, with much history.

@@LithicMetals Great video! Thanks for the thorough explanation behind the gold refinery process. You have a new sub

Very fascinating statement. I believe the same thing. For myself I believe it’s biological. There’s a connection in our genetics and DNA that we don’t understand yet. It’s much like Catnip is to feline’s as an effect and affect.

@@TheMilwaukieDan I think you are right, it is almost ingrained in our senses this is a special material, you use to hear stories of people during the gold rush getting gold fever and it is easy to understand why.

Thanks! I appreciate it!! 😁

Same here. Big respect to Lithic and Sreetips for their patience and chemistry skills, and sharing it with all of us.

Thanks so much, Brent! 😁

The coin was mounted in a bezel at one point. It had solder marks and such. Regardless, it had much value to the owner than the numismatic value... it wasn't ever going to be sold.

I concur with your assessment. It appears to be a viable strategy to hedge against inflation over the long-term. Thank you for sharing your insights.

Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. But like any investment, it carries risks. To determine if gold is the right investment option for you, an investment advisor can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of investing in gold. They can also help you create a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader investment strategy. An investment advisor can help you decide how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and select other investments that can complement your gold holdings.

In my opinion, holding physical precious metals is a preservation of wealth. Held best as a long-term asset. And, anyone who is considering holding a large amount of precious metals should be established within a trusted precious metals community. One last piece of advice... never ever sell for below spot price. Thanks for watching! 😁

@@TomD226 Impressive can you share more info?

@@TomD226 Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😁

Thanks, Preston! 😁

@@LithicMetals I finally built my homemade fume hood. Now I need to start getting glassware and collecting material to refine.

I didn't enjoy melting that double eagle, but it was once in a bezel. It's numismatic value wasn't much.

just becausse it was removed from jewlewry doesnt mean there isnt still numistic value @@LithicMetals

It would still have been worth more than the melt value.@@LithicMetals

Hi JewelryWerx by Robert Coleman! I just subscribed to your channel! 😎Nice!

You mint them at that point, you make a die that you stamp them with in a stamp mould :)

@@eror151 That doesn't really work for serial numbers unless he goes pretty overboard with equipment purchases.

Thanks so much. I'd love to pour you a bar whenever you're ready. I started by reading CM Hoke's book "available online as pdf", plus the goldrefiningforum.com is a great resource.

@@LithicMetals👍❤️

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!! 😁

@@LithicMetals it's awesome bro, tks you for make a nice video 😁

I enjoy writing short stories as well. So this is really great to hear! Thanks, Jim!! 😁

Not to take anything away from OP but; A jeweler won't reduce jewels (and historic coins) to bars, to other jewels perhaps, but not bars. This is scrap recycling, not jewelry making. A metallurgist is an entirely different career and field. And they definitely aren't playing with gold, it's mostly steel (the steel industry is a huge employer and are crazy obsessive when it comes to purity and alloys, etc - way out of my wheel house and quite a complicated field if you're bored and feel like reading up on it).

@@dr.lexwinter8604 Nothing taken away at all honestly, though perhaps I would say my naming conventions aren't wholly accurate. It's a fully sci-fi/fiction setting, and I borrowed the term "Jeweller" from Goldfinger. Particularly the point where during the briefing with M & Bond, and I quote "Apart from being a legitimate international bullion dealer, Mr. Goldfinger is a legitimate international jeweler. He's legally entitled to operate modest metallurgical installations.". So perhaps if anything, I need to refine my definition of what my character is. So I appreciate you pointing it out 🙂

Hi AK Gold Bear! I agree! BTW... I just subscribed to your channel! Nice! 😎

@@LegacyStacker Unexpected 🙂 Thank you 🖐

Thank you! 💛

A particulate mask is not sufficient. You need one that is resistant to both nitrogen oxides and acids. An ounce of gold is far more than you should be using for experiments. A 1/10th ounce bar, possibly even cut in half, would be far more reasonable.

I doubt seriously if he messes with gold filled, much less plated material. They are a PITA to refine and the gold content is very low.

Thanks, Jamie! 😁

I appreciate it. Thanks!

It really is! It's music to my ears. Thanks for watching! 😁
