And at 2 cents a piece, he was losing money most likely. Coild be why he stopped doing it. As the posts above say, there isnt much gold in them.

Well, I did another 1000 of them. This time no AP but just straight incineration. I've panned the powder out and I took a nice picture of the result. The wires seem a bit longer than my first run where I first used AP.
The foils were sieved and I dissolved the base metals using nitric.
I will post the results as soon as possible

I'm unsure of their comparative value in dollars currently but I believe 2 pence literally means the same thing, 2 pennies?
