Bringing Silver Value Back on Track Silver is a precious metal with a wide array of uses. Silver value has been an acknowledged standard since ancient times when it was the major currency of trade. Although silver value has diminished over the recent times, it still plays a major role in the international market today.

Q1) OFHC copper refers to oxygen-free, high conductivity copper alloys, which typically are types of pure copper alloys. OFHC are metallic materials of the group nonferrous alloys, which is known for it is high conductivity of electrical and thermal ability. OFHC produced by the direct conversion of selected refined cathodes and castings under carefully controlled conditions to prevent contamination of the pure oxygen-free metal during processing. The method of producing OFHC copper ensures extra

Since metals have crystal structure and free electrons to allow large amounts of dislocations they are both highly malleable and ductile. Ductility of a solid material is the ability to undergo tensile stress without fracture or damage; simply the ability to draw a material into a wire by pulling
The aromas of ink and paper filled my senses, I was printed on a square sheet of paper, other bills surrounded me. I suddenly had become aware that I had been created. I was filled with thoughts of being free and happy, but then I realized I couldn’t move or talk. I would forever be passed around, under the control of someone who didn’t know I had thoughts.

Colloidal silver is a supplement that has been used for hundreds of years, dating back to the 19th century with French surgeon Dr. Carl Crede.1 Colloidal silver is a product that has little respect in the Food and Drug and Administration’s eyes but plenty of attraction in the natural and holistic medical field. The specific component of colloidal silver that my research is on is ACS 200, which stands for Advanced Cellular Silver. I have personally used ACS 200 before. I used the product to treat
