Silverware , how to test Sterling Silver

If it says Sterling Silver , its a good chance that it is in fact sterling ? And I thought that it had to say 925 over 1000 or something like that. I guess I have to make a trip back to my local thrift shop and pick up that unbelievably too good to be true deal "YC348" and "665" sounds like serial numbers. Silver usually is stamped "750". "800", "835", "925" or "Sterling".Density wont always work, you'll never get the same exact values, its not all pure silver so you'll be off a little bit depending on composition the unknown silver alloy/mixture or plating. Nitric acid works for the reason Silver is high on the reactivity series, more "reactive" than most elements producing a white precipitate in the reaction.the green is copper oxide like the statue of liberty. And the silver oxide is white. Nitric acid is very aggressive oxidant. They use the same shit to test gold. The thing is that all the copy-metals they use are not gold or silver and so they corrode and nitric acid is a rapid oxidant so you can see quickly what you are looking at. You cant make that shit up. Its just the nature
That cup had YC348. I wonder if that means it's 34.8% silver, and so there would be 65.2% copper.
Older stuff from the 19th century sometimes is stamped "12" or "13". That's an old measurement for silver content based on 16 ("lot") parts for fine silver. So "12" means 12/16 = 75 percent and "13" means 13/16 = 81,3 percent silver.

But take care since often the real silver content of these "12" and "13" stamped pieces is much lower than it should be...
if you have a large enough container with measurements then you can just find the ratio between the volume increase of water after putting the object into the container by the weight of the object to determine its density. if it has the density of silver then its silver.



He is a jewler he uses the acid test for gold silver you name it this is the least expensive way to test the purity of the metal. With gold at record highs you buy one piece of fake gold and you just erased your profit margin for a while you need to know what you are doing. Also least we forget there are peope that will show up with stolen stuff at what point do you think they are gonna click and say hey lets just rob him? Sure there is money to be made and there are graves to be filled.
MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on. Go Long Stay long the bull market have even started yet

The Gold Dinar behind the war on Libya ?

Gaddafi was planning to introduce the Gold Dinar just before the war ,Gaddafi also wanted Gold in return for his Oil , some say this was the real cause behind the NATO war against Libya .. the banksters feel to be threatened by the return to a honest currency, gold and silver backed, they actually want a world currency completely online! But I don't think India, Russia, China, and other countries want it.Even Europe begins to understand the necessity of a gold standard... even with the inconveniences...people who don't hold gold are finished anyways but it seems that gold is the only way to stop the transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich...the only way to protect the value from inflation , the only reason the US haven't collapsed yet is because the dollar is still the global reserve currency, (no matter how much money they print it doesn't devalue the dollar because the whole world excepts it as currency) if the dollar falls so will life as America knows it, the government is doing their job, trying to keep the country from complete financial collapse.



this fake economy/monopoly needs to end and the gold standard reinstated...it is the only way to stop the theft through inflationary quantitative easing....the sooner these American people open their eyes the better it will be for all.....if the people dont take back their government very soon we will be in world war three...a nuclear holocaust...not a very nice ending for the human race

Bob Chapman : Numismatic Coins have great potential , their time will come

The Time for Numismatic Coins will come says Bob Chapman of the International forecaster , Numismatic Coins are collectors coins , Bob Chapman owns personally the Numismatic Coins and he thinks that as long there is a low premium on the Numismatic Coins they are a good investment , last time around between 1977 and 1981 the prices went from $500 to $5000 per coin so the potential for Numismatic Coins is large because you get less than one percent of the people in the world and in the United States in Gold and Silver including Numismatic Coins now when that will become 15 percent they are not going to buy bullion coins and gold and silver shares and that includes shares too says Bob Chapman , but they are gonna buy other products and that would be Numismatic Coins as well , so their time will come ..there 's good values there ...
