Stanislaw Lem from Mint of Gdansk

Picked up a couple cool 5oz and a couple englehards just because they were there.

Some stuff still stashed away but this is most of what I’ve added this year.

I didn’t bring quite enough cash for a 100oz :(

Love this piece from my collection. It's massive!

Let’s hope this is the bottom lol

I've seen a lot of .999 silver dice sets but these 2 in my personal collection from Ag47 Mfg. are still my favorites of ALL-TIME.

3.ozt total weight

Crisp and Clean!

Got a few different molds coming today... the one I'm really excited about is this hexagon skull round... I think it's about a 2.5 to 3 ozt of silver per... I think It'll pair nicely with the 3ozt skull pirate coin and the 5 oz skull... We will find out soon enough.

I'm really intrigued to pour this silver cube first... This is a really deep mold... Supposed to hold 2.5 - 3 ozt and I think it could potentially hold 3.5 and will be excellent to perhaps make some homemade dice using the laser engraver to do it. B-Cuz of all the flat surfaces, I could put different designs on any side as well as numbers. This is going to make for some interesting pieces. I have other ideas as well and I welcome anybody else's ideas...

The next one is the silver button... Which is supposed to hold about 2.5 ozt but looking at it I think it'll probably take closer to 3+ozt. We will see.

And the last one is the hexagon silver skull and that one is supposed to hold about 2.5 ozt but I think it'll take more as well.

Because of all the possible metals that could be poured into these molds they never have the right numbers... They're always off for whatever it is you want to pour. But we will figure it out.

Shiny and New from my Collection.

You gotta love SCOTTSDALE products!

The pyramid and the second silver round were both put back in the recycle pile to be remelted as they did not meet my standards.

The other three pieces were beautiful and went on to be polished, get laser hallmarked and we're added to the inventory.

For those of you that will comment that I did not heat up the molds enough and if there was water in there it would blown up... The molds were preheated before I touched them up with some heat right before pouring. They were in the 400 to 500° range, plenty to make sure there was no moisture in the molds whatsoever and thanks to a nice precoating of boron nitride spray aerosol... a high temperature, dry lubricant and release agent... There was no pitting in the fine silver!

You'll have to excuse the video during the pour as I am still learning to try and coordinate everything at the same time during pouring.

Pouring is not new to me... Videotaping while pouring is new to me.

The A-mark stacker has a twin, I just couldn’t afford it today 😔

I was gifted a few of these years ago. Cant find much info regarding their history, anyone find these familiar?

Ordered these before the dip - they’ve dropped in price by nearly $8 each between the time I ordered them and their arrival yesterday but that’s the way it goes. Just means I can get some more of these beauties this week for cheaper. These are “Freedom” and “Toro”
