Comment from : @C-130-Hercules

At -- 107 -- For just one 1964 dime it could be worth 4 figures, esp an error coin Just saying
Comment from : @ghostcityshelton9378

No it's not legal it is against the law to ruin any us currency and you need map gas propain not right gas
Comment from : @fishingdaily4692

Need map gas that is the 1st mistake

Comment from : @itsDbob

Good test more work needed
Comment from : @jamiegrowthanddevelopment9664

people buy constitutional silver thinking i can always melt it down for the silver , what they dont realize its a pain ita to melt and seperate the metalsif you want that buy 100 silver
Comment from : @ridgerunner7980

I'm a big coin guy and that doesn't make me mad it's just a 64 Rosie
Comment from : @carcravetv5137

Copper melts at a higher temp than silver why would you be surprised that the clad coin was harder to melt?
Comment from : @susanconnelly6915

I have one got it the other day
Comment from : @Mothafuckenzay

It’s illegal to destroy US Currency

"do not attempt this at home" meanwhile he's probably at home

3:25 YA THINK!?
Comment from : @Frizzy678

I wish I can tell you what I brbrthink what you did
Comment from : @maxymnbl8891

I started laughing when he says" Is the even legal?" I don't know why that was so funny to me
Comment from : @Breakern9n3

You ruined the temper in your pliers

Has to be a methhead waste of time Unreal
Comment from : @markbelanger2755

Melting a 64 dime? You're a monster
Comment from : @kdavidsmith1

I like coins and i don't see why a lot of these guys get butthurt Anyone with a stash of 90 constitutional coins WANTS them to be melted down It's what's going to be difference between junk silver and a coin with some actual premium
Comment from : @Trollamollex

You need a crucible The pliers is a never going to work the way you want
Comment from : @roverman985

You could shape it with a hammer at that tempbut you need oxy, acetylene
Comment from : @DDay-vv9ec

It's called "defacement of government property" Be careful!
Comment from : @brandonfreer6348

“It looks like it’s about to drip” brbrbflips upside down, preventing the drip/b brbrMe: NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP MOVING
Comment from : @faithlewis1661

holding coin with steel players steal much of the heat from coin before it melts
Comment from : @daveanderson2569

Can’t melt nickel in a propane torch, use an oxy-asetline torch
Comment from : @christopherblackhall2832

Jd's cryinglol
Comment from : @sirkyoj1

Need map gas
Comment from : @soulsnatcher9228

Wood bench Not very s m a r t
Comment from : @dazedandconfusedstacker9923

That's US government money you're not allowed to do that But go ahead make a video showing yourself destroying US money
Comment from : @cynthiaayers7696

I'm a 34 year old teenager Dont tell me not to try this at home, because the very first thing I'm going to do Hahaha
Comment from : @JustForFun77077

Having tried this before myself I can tell you that the Pliers are pulling heat out of the coin if you laid it on something and use the torch it would melt
Comment from : @trackpackgt373

Poor Silver Makes mine go up in value
Comment from : @coinsearcher9635

Everytime you pulled the dime out of the torch to play around burnin your table the temp of the dime dropped by 400 degrees 1 second is all it takes to drop it that much
Comment from : @mrflood1005

My grandpa melted them down and bought a car
Comment from : @99CentRapper

It's a 1964, no harm done Now a barber in somewhat decent shape would hurt my feelings But your property, do as you wish with it It's only making mine that much rarer
Comment from : @johngriffiths3952

Interesting I was trying to do this the other day b4 I saw ur vid but I had a small piece of silver shot😅
Comment from : @jja1483

You do realize you're destroying (federal) government property?
Comment from : @mistamarvelous8203

Are you using map gas or propane? The new no lead soldiers require map gas to melt Propane isn’t hot enough
Comment from : @pharmhound68

It burns off the impurities It you put it in a smelter the impurities would float to the top and the silver would be in the bottom
Comment from : @urbanairgunner6402

Next time sprinkle borax on it and don't hold with pliers !!
Comment from : @imcirgold

Use a forge
Comment from : @wyattcrashout

Play this video at 2x speed You can thank me later ;)
Comment from : @Gtown1777

I make rings out of coins
Comment from : @dodgercan

Can I have my time back please zzzz
Comment from : @lawnrescueproperty1213

You better hope the feds don't see your "scientific experiment" your cell mate will be performing a scientific experiment on you asshole
Comment from : @nicholasworrell2747

Um, this is NOT legal
Comment from : @singularity2444

Propane is fine, but the hottest part of a propane flame, is after the tip, and slightly past the flame itself I use to work in the welding gas industry, and we had to teach many scrapers how to use propane to cut They treated propane like acetylene and never liked propane That's a huge mistake
Comment from : @KM4OOS

Put in a cruible with flux makes a silver ball
Comment from : @homelesstraveler75

Aren't the pliers acting like a heat sink?
Comment from : @19safe53

It's not hot enuf ,copper melts at 1984 deg f,silver is like 1771 deg f
Comment from : @joeyfrontz1255

Need to do some research my friend
Comment from : @20greeneyes20

I pour a lot of silver using propane and the thing I see here is your pliers are acting as a heat sink of sorts Try a small ceramic crucible and you will get results even with copperCome on over for a visit I show both metals being worked with
Comment from : @TomokosEnterprize

hold it still and it will work faster
Comment from : @twobitsmith1

this guy is so stupid
Comment from : @josephovermyer9276

Is your mother ba Hillary Clinton supporter?/b
Comment from : @whothefoxcares

Graduations you Did a federal offense XD I would so try this but I don't wanna get in trouble :)
Comment from : @Wisdomdragon42069

wonder what would happen if all of us citizens melted down our change what would happen to the country lol
Comment from : @KirksCORNER1983

think this is illegal
Comment from : @KirksCORNER1983

Destruction of any American currency is illegal, so with the video self incriminating, the courts have evidence to prosecute if they wanted to!
Comment from : @rustymarshall1560

great video really enjoyed
Comment from : @treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340

The copper oxidized that's why the flame was green and it turned out very copper looking I don't think it would do that in a crucible with indirect flame
Comment from : @toolofbordem

next time dont hold it in pliers they act as a heat sink
Comment from : @theronlawson619

you won't be able to get the copper out of the silver without acid and the melting point of copper is higher than silver
Comment from : @MrCountrycuz

The melting temp of silver is close to 2,8 00°F, lead is 2386°F, Silicon is slightly above 1,400°F, i can remember copper, gold, & platinum, but i know that copper is around 447°F, gold 2,900F, platinum above 3,100°F It's been years so i don't remember exact figures, otherwise i would share with you the melting point of those dimes Blue flames are the hottest but the hottest part of every flame is; the tip of the inner cone because it is oxidized to its maxim, & all the heat is directed inward by a turbulence caused by the difference of temperature So like a magnifying glass, heat becomes focused in the tip of the inner cone of the flame Acetylene burns extremely hot, butane does also but not to that temperature, propanes peak burn temp is close to 2,400° F Propane is also the common choise of gas because it doesn't ignite easily You can suffocate a lit cigarette in a propane atmosphere I just thought I'd share a little knowledge - GOD BLESS YOU!
Comment from : @bitchy_bitch5909

I heard someone say that you can't melt gold leaf (except in something like nitrogen) because it will actually burn before it melts!
Comment from : @ChaplainDaveSparks

You need to use a oxy/acetylene torch , propane is not hot enough
Comment from : @lesterroberts4787

NOOOOOOOOO
Comment from : @410shaggy2

Putting it in water made it cool way too fast
Comment from : @livewithnick

nope it is not sorrybr[]_[]
Comment from : @antoniogarcia6959

Comment from : @antoniogarcia6959

copper has a very high melting point of like 2000 degrees
Comment from : @antoniogarcia6959

burned the nickel plate
Comment from : @antoniogarcia6959

did you know that it is illegal to melt modern coins that are still being produced by the mint
Comment from : @antoniogarcia6959

why are you so cruel to those coins
Comment from : @antoniogarcia6959

I can't see the boys in the field trying to,use silver for anything It would have had to be a BBBIIIIIIGGGGGGG chunk of silver I am surprise the clad didn't melt more Great experiment and Great video!!!!!!
Comment from : @christiewilley7677

Well the president has a tumor on his head! And is good at wood burning!!
Comment from : @christiewilley7677

Hey buddy One more thing This video reminds me of when you used your engraving pen to write your name on our toaster I plan to leave the toaster to you in my will KRH
Comment from : @kentuckyrelichunter3244

Hey buddy Interesting, but defacing US currency is a crime KRH
Comment from : @kentuckyrelichunter3244

Try a nickel BD!
Comment from : @gigglygigglygoo69

Mapp gas gets hotter than regular propane The cylinder will be yellow instead of blue
Comment from : @johntaxi38

How hot does that torch get!?! That's friggin crazy, didn't melt, must have to be hotterGOOD LUCK! I have this vision of you with some billows and a smelting factoryLOL
Comment from : @anitajackson7469

Silver is already gone, note the blue green flame, that is the copper trying to melt
Comment from : @aliasfred

here's a nice melting point chart for different metals wwwonlinemetalscom/meltptcfm

Your pliers are acting like a big heat sink
Comment from : @aliasfred

hey man do u have a video of how they detonate a civil war cannon ball
Comment from : @garynolen1677

Don't attempt to do this at homebut it's ok in the garage with proper ventilation😀
Comment from : @deepsouthdiggers580

shows how much real value our current coins haveCrazy alloy mix that wont melt
Comment from : @robnelson3721

Since copper and clad melt at different temps, could it be the silver that dripped and the copper that remained? IDK I'm wondering now what the different melt temps are for each metal
