It seems like the best deal currently available on apmex for silver is one kilo of silver "bb's" .999 fine for .49 cents per ounce over spot. You can get batter deals for a bigger quantity but for my money that seems to be the best. But my question is, besides ebay, how would one go about selling it when silver goes back up?

melt, pour and stamp it? Give it to tmaring to make coins out of it? YOU know the purity, but how could another buyer from you know in shot form unless in a sealed, marked bag? Then, my guess id its .999 fine and would sell for market value at the time

| There in lies the problem, I would want to break it down to sell in smaller amounts so it would be hard to prove it was .999 silver. And sending it somewhere to get made into bars or coins would greatly diminish any profit. |

| What is the melting point for silver anyway? I know smelting and such would be difficult for an amatuer regardless of the metal type, but is silver one of the "easier" metals to melt and make into bars? |

That's what I was thinking. A little to hot for your Bic as well....

I'm so sick over pennies....I frequently trade a dime or two for the whole "take-a-penny" container if sufficient coppers exist. That will get you some odd looks. |
