It’s only going higher!!!!

In the saturated silence following a powerful East Asian monsoon, a concealed mineral seep briefly unmasks a quiet sanctuary where elusive woodland creatures gather undetected before the forest floor swallows its secret once more.

One is refined to 99.99% by using a silver cell after initial refining. The other was refined to between 98.5 & 99.9% using chloride precipitation from nitric. Even though its rinsed until clear copper sneaks in. Most times I achieve over 99%. Was using a steel mold for a bit which was introducing small amounts of iron. So now that mold is only used for making anode's and graphite molds afterwards.

Hi! As per the title, how would I write this coin down as? Is this an error coin?

I’ve really just been trying to fill my Whitman books so the D.C was a nice find, but silver made me jump out my chair. Only the second silver quarter I’ve come across. What’s the painted one called, a juke box coin?

Hey all! Just purchased a Stinger Box electrolysis kit and have been attempting to use it for electrolysis on coins. I’ve followed all the directions and have successfully run a current through the tank when the clip is out of the water but the coin is submerged. Bubbles are forming on the catalyst rod. However, no bubbles are forming on the coin and I’m really stumped why. The brine is mixed properly and the current is flowing (even when the clip is not touching the water {is in picture} but the artifact is). I’ve switched the alligator clips between the coin and catalyst connection points, but no evidence of bubbles on the coin can be seen.

Maybe I should first ask the stupid question: do bubbles always form during electrolysis on the coin?

Another thing worth mentioning. The voltage control knob interestingly is installed on the wrong side of the box. It supposedly works as the voltage displayed changes when it is turned. Maybe the product is just defective, with its clearly incorrect manufacture?

Any help appreciated.

Also, yes, I am running a copper coin on 22V. Just trying to figure out if the kit is underpowered or not.

Ordered a box just to circulate. Cracked first roll and found one 40% silver even though the Loomis box says no silver. Side note gave a few at the grocery store to a kid, Looked at me like I was a criminal and said, what are these, then called his manager over and said yes we accept these..... kids are about to learn hahaha

Some of the regular halves were legit melted like where the nickel layer was easily peeling off. I’m thinking I should have my bank send the rest of the box to the federal reserve as part of the uncurrent coin redemption program.

WHO'S WITH ME!!!??????!!!!!

After practicing with some paydirt at home, I finally got the opportunity to try panning on the North Fork of the Yuba. It was definitely a steep learning curve, but I got some color. Most of this came from a few pans at the end of the day.

The Marlborough Antinous - a Roman black chalcedony intaglio portrait created circa AD 130–138, depicting Antinous, Emperor Hadrian's favourite. Carved from deep black chalcedony and mounted in a modern gold setting, it was formerly part of the Giorgio Sangiorgi Collection before being acquired by the J. Paul Getty Museum.
