I did a thing... Chip out of fine silver (1 Viewer)

[DerFabo]

Some of you might know that i own a laser engraving machine at work and try some stuff out.
Some days ago i had the idea of making a "Tribute Chip" to my RHC relabel cash set out of fine silver.

I really like the results!
The measurement is a bit off as the diameter is 38.4mm and the thickness is 2.2 mm but i quite like it!

That is very cool!

How much for a sample set?

 

[markleteenie]

Wow cool! What does the raw silver of a coin that size cost?

My goldsmith did this from a one ounce Krugerrand. These are typically about 42-44€ here. But the work to plain it out is a pain in the ass. The cost without my design and the lasering isnt worth the material tbh. I still think its very cool.

Very cool, but now I’m going to spend all day thinking about an entire table shuffling a stack of these and the amount of noise it would make

Good thing this is meant as a card capper

Can u fill an airtite with special gasses to prevent tarnishing? Or will it tarnish?

I’m guessing “airtites” aren’t actually air tight.

 

[chippitydoodah]

They're not "air" tight so no

 

[MC_CPA]

Why would they call them that thats so misleading. I would be upset if i put a silver coin in an airtite and it didnt work.

Not quite redbull wiiiinggs level but still.

 

[DerFabo]

I guess we'll see if and how it changes in an airtite.

Is that a 1oz bullion round?
How did you source the blanks?

This is seriously awesome.

 

[chippitydoodah]

Why do they call it permanent press if the clothes wrinkle again?

 

[Tonysquander]

That looks awesome! Great work!

 

[Colquhoun]

Very cool!
But I’m surprised no comments yet from the hat-and-cane police.
