The clasp has a spring in it. It will always magnetize.

silver nickels have a large mintmark above the building, and any dime, quarter, half or dollar before 1965 in 90% silver. Enjoyed your video, thank you

@rogereaston1188 Жыл бұрын

War nickels are only 40% silver and they are the nickels that have silver.

The bracelet at 17:00 is Krementz, which is a high quality costumer jeweler. It is still worth reselling, even though it is not gold.

One note is silver can turn green if it’s stored in certain plastic containers especially plastics with PVC! Just FYI. Thanks for video

Yes, but this is pretty rare. 5 years of buying thousands of pounds of sterling and tens of thousands of coins and I saw it very very little. But it’s good to note that yes it is possible. Thanks again for watching!

clasp can be magnetized due to the spring build inside it. note gold nor silver are soft metal not advizable for making spring.

Thanks for video I am a vintage antique seller on Ebay I use information to learn what is fake and what is real.

I agree

@pisceanbeauty2503 2 ай бұрын

My understanding is that rhodium plating can cause a silver or gold item to be slightly magnetized.

I enjoyed your video, but war nickels between 1942 and 1945 are only 40% silver and they are the only nickels that have any silver. All other silver change 1964 and prior are 90%.

@greydoe 5 жыл бұрын

I think you mean "magnetic," not "magnetized." Good, basic info though - I especially like the tip to bring a loupe - I'm often surprised at how many who frequent yard sales, thrift stores, etc., don't carry one. Thanks!

Does or can a regular black magnet find real gold ? If not where can I find a metal magnet like u have? And does it stick to real silver or does it not like it don't stick to real gold? Thank u for this video! Its very informative ❤

The war nickels have the mint mark on the back above the building. Slightly faster than checking dates. Happy hunting!

@samuelcatoe1927 3 жыл бұрын

War nickels also usually look VERY different from other nickels today due to tarnishing.

Christina, I don’t wear much jewelry but some of my best Reseller Friends include the jewelry jar girls, I’m trying to learn so I really appreciate that you took us on a little slower pace with great shots of markings, I sure hope that you will continue

Is it really worth collecting sterling to get scrap price? thank you

How do you identity unstamped stuff? Near impossible without tools or acid

Thanks for this video you covered so much. I’m currently learning about silver and this video helps. We’re do you scrap and or resell the silver and gold?

925 is a number for silver

Can you do a video on what a pile of the sterling silver stuff is actually worth? This is so interesting. Or maybe taking it to someone who buys it for melting.

@ResellerRevolution 5 жыл бұрын

Sure!! The value varies depending on the price of gold and silver per oz. it also varies, depending on where you take it. Precious metal values change daily. They will eb and flow with the economy. Thank you so much for watching!

Reseller Revolution To be honest, I didn’t think there was any money in it. Learn something new everyday.

@ronaldkieffer2316 5 жыл бұрын

I watched your video over and over. Please make more videos. One of the things I wanted to let you know is there is a really cool tool to check gold to see if it's real. You can pick one of these scanners for $50 and it works on gold and silver. I'm thinking about buying one of the gold lock scanners but I'm not sure. Has anyone else bought one?

@ResellerRevolution 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for watching. There are a few different tools on the market but I’ve never used any of them. I think that if having something to help verify your coins helps you then you should get one. For me, I learned from a jeweler/coin dealer so I had lots of hands on experience. But for a beginner or even a long time collector, you can never be too sure.

@Ik-bj8yf Жыл бұрын

Do know any scanner to test for gold. I need a name please
