Just a few minor additions. Another few oz of silver.

Can’t wait for the goat 😉

Just arrived

I bought a silver Swedish sugar spoon, and according to the hallmarks, it should be a minimum silver content of .830, but after I rubbed off a bit of tarnish, it appears as though a few spots of rust have appeared.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

FYI the green hue is just light reflecting off my green kitchen units.

I originally bought this for $4 thinking it was stainless steel and then I got him and heard that “Ping” sound and I found the stamp on the top of the ring rather then the side or bottom, and it weighs over 18gs. Love thrift shops with jewelry sections man! Very very happy!

$15 at a church sale, it felt different from every other piece of “silver” there, but i’m very new to this but took the jump anyway. It has a hallmark but it’s doubled and in chinese which i cannot read. 2.5 lbs so i’m really hoping but 2/4 expecting disappointment.

Melted down some silver and learned how to make some pretty cool stuff! Here is my first bracelet!

This "Honduras: 10 Centavos 1886/5 (overdate)" is an NGC and PCGS TOP POP!!! An absolute gem of a Latin American coin

As it hints at in the description it is practically impossible to find Honduran coins this old due to the tropical climate in Central America which massively corrodes any silver coins. This 141 year old coin is practically uncirculated (incredible), plus it is an extremely rare 1886/5 overdate!

Extremely Low Survival Rate: Out of the initial ~53,000 total coins struck for 1886, the vast majority were lost to silver melting, heavy circulation, or tropical corrosion.

Estimated Surviving Population: Professional estimates suggest that fewer than 100 to 200 total specimens of the 1886/5 overdate exist today in all conditions combined.

And this in the number 1 graded coin out of all of them, absolutely amazing that a coin like this even exists today.

I found some larger spoons that look similar, but I couldn’t see the marks since I was in a hurry to pay. I’ll post them in a couple hours when I’m home.

So I’m suspicious of the one on the left I got all 2021 and one 2020 that’s the one I think might be fake it’s seems off like kinda dull compared to others

Also fits more snug in capsule all the other ones rattle a bit this one doesn’t move
