    About this ebook

    In this innovative book about Silver, Data, and finding hidden value, the physics-based tests and data-backed trends reveal new truths about this precious metal. The author, a silicon valley alum who innovated data-backed techniques for some of the country's biggest tech companies, brings a degree of science and logic to the world of silver collecting. Frustrated by all the books that focus on the same maxims and trends from decades past, he set out to write a book with data at its center.

    In this volume, he replaces many old wives' tales and common knowledge with reliable science-driven facts. Do certain countries create better silver than others? The data have something to say about that. What about weighted items--is there a way to calculate the silver content of cement-filled vase or reinforced bowl? There are, in fact, multiple ways to do this. What about all those eBay listings that never list weight? Is there a way to guesstimate the weight of an item, based on the information they do provide? Again, absolutely there is. This book explores these questions and more, in an attempt to finally peel back the foil on the mysteries of properly valuing the silver content of antiques.

    If you're looking to be better informed about valuing silver objects, and finding the best items for value-buying, then this is the book for you. Going with your gut is important, but there's no need to take unmitigated risks if there's a set of data out there with many answers.

    Hi, I’m Kendell. I’m a data nerd and a writer. For ten years, I worked in talent management, specifically working with companies to build their workforces in interesting and meaningful ways. I used data and research for much of my career to find the missing gaps in talent pools and to great success. As a writer, I want to do the same for my readers.My writing career is dedicated to exploring the hidden trends and secrets that we pass by every day. I explored this from a non-fiction side in a prior Youtube Channel (The Objective) and a Podcast (The Appendix) and am excited to do the same from a fictional side.
