You strike me as young, perhaps younger than myself. How did you initially get into silver, because it seems like you are up on it. I’ve been buying a bunch of silver on ebay recently, well as much as I can afford anyway.

@retrieval01 haha! These were sent to us by a customer in a larger batch of silver to have them made into new silver pieces. I am sorry but I don’t know where they got these pieces from. We test all of the silver we get and these were the duds. When we found out they were duds, they were sent back to the customer. We don’t work with anything that is less that .999 fine silver.
Sorry I can’t tell you where they came from, but I can tell you that if you see some pieces like these, BEWARE!

Wait. So you made a video about fake silver without telling us where you got this fake silver from? Why don’t you tell us which company you got it from so we don’t make the same mistake?

If I’m not mistaken, APMEX is a dealer of precious metals, which means that they do not mint the products they sell. This being said, they are a large dealer and I would assume that they wouldn’t buy and sell junk. But then again I have never purchased from them. Do you have anything from them that looks like junk?

does apmex sell fake bullions?
just making sure….

The Third Reich produced millions of 90% silver bullion coins. Each Nazi 5 Reichsmark coin weighed 13.88 g and contained exactly 12.5 g of fine silver. Almost half an ounze of silver in each coin. These coins are still readily available today! And besides their inherant value as silver bullion, they are also genuine Third Reich collectables thus adding to their value!

Very informative kid…I really appreciated this video presentation and I learned something today. Thank you for sharing this.

Any silver that has Copy, Clad, Grains, Mills/mg written either in the certificate of authenticity or in the silver itself will mean that it’s only silver plated.
Hamilton rarely mints anywhere near .999 fine silver the most common I’ve seen is 92.5, those Eisenhower bars are part of the freedom set collection, if its .999 it might be the toner that’s added to the bars that’s giving it color after being heat treated.

Thanks for the input MUDSWAT,
We’ll try to keep a good mixture of informative videos about silver, and informative videos about our company.

Let me know if you have any concerns or questions. I’ll do my best to help. I’m sure you already know, but silver investing is really fun! Not to mention the security side of it.
May 24th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
so its backwards, but I was right!
It worked the opposite for me and that’s what my jeweler told me

Are these all things you got burned on? This is why I buy Maple Leafs and only Maple Leafs.
