I have a number of old electric switches with silver contacts that I have saved over the last several years. Is there a market for either the copper or the silver contacts if I remove them?

Send me an email if you want to refine those silver contacts: sales@marketharmony.net My company will pay you for the precious metals contained in your scrap lot.
There's a market for silver contacts on Ebay. It would help if you weighed them exactly by the gram. Search "industrial silver contacts" on Ebay.
I've collected some silver contacts from old circuit breakers, but can't figure out how to separate them from the copper that they are attached to. I think they are brazed onto the copper. Any suggestions?
Market Harmony is great to deal with. Get them refined there for cash or bullion.

I heat them till the solder melts and scrape them off.
What do you heat them with? I used a propane torch, heated the copper until it was red hot and the silver contacts still didn't separate from the copper.
