Actually this item seems like a really good idea, and may be something that others may want to buy if it can be easily made by printing it on a 3D printer, and attaching a few components. Great little gizmo regardless, hats off for your creativity @Peacemaker 👍

jackflash123 reacted to Petra in Another in the Kilo Club
Just checked through my paperwork… after just under two and a half years I’m on around just over half a kilo (sounds better than 500g😮🤔)
Two lessons learnt:
Should have bought less silver🤔
Should have bought more slightly larger coins such as full and half sovereigns 🤔🤷🏼♂️
oh well …. best keep going🤔😮😁🔥

Totally awesome to have a kilo in gold in sovereigns alone 👏👏👏
I am on a similar journey of trying to reach a kilo of gold, but mine is split between all different types of coins and bars.

I see it as a very reasonable price for peace to sleep soundly at night,knowing that someone else will be the end of a sawn off or machete if the fecal matter ever hit the rotary oscillator
I also have a back up pen drives of data/photos, crypto cold storage long term wallet, a few personal bits.
A deposit box is good value IMO
Who always feels a little bit Bond or Jason Bourne when they visit their stack behind closed doors ?

jackflash123 reacted to stefffana in Antique Solid Silver Spoons .812 Marked 13 at spot
Thank you for tag!🤗
I have seen them and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them, but from Tuesday morning I will go in holiday.
For those who are not familiarised with the Loth measurement system, this was used in many european countries during the Middle Age, before the millesimal finesse system replaced it.
"The loth standard was an indicator of the quality of a silver item.
The loth mark of silver shows the content of precious metal in the alloy - the number of loths in one Cologne mark of the alloy. 1 Cologne mark was equal to 233.855 grams, while 1 loth was equal to 14.616 grams. Thus, the loth was equal to 1⁄16th of a stamp, that is, the weight of the loth depended on the weight (mass) of the stamp.
For reference: in Medieval Europe, the mark was originally used as a unit of measurement for the weight of silver and gold.
And only after that it began to be used as a monetary unit. Due to the fact that the weight characteristics of brands differ, hence the inconvenience of this measurement system. " (https://sochicfinds.com/blogs/articles/loth-standard-silver-what-is-a-loth-numbers-and-symbols-of-silver-purity-degree)
A very interesting history of the Cologne marks of an alloy can be found on Wikipedia page about "Imperial minting standards":
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsmünzfuß.
Silver fineness was indicated in "loth" until 1867 in Austrian empire, until 1888 in German empire, until 1891 in Norway, until 1891 in Finland,
12 loth silver= 750/1000
13 loth silver= 813/1000
14 loth silver= 875/1000
15 loth silver= 937/1000.
Note*: the marks pictured are as should be. If someone want to buy these teaspoons, can buy them with 100% confidence. I have many continental spoons with 13 loth marks in my stack, I am familiar with this marking system and all of them passed the acid test.😊
