    If it helps start thinking of it as Junque silver, it sounds a little classier that way.

    Maybe you could call it "Silver á la Junque" and charge an extra 10% for it!

    Dear fellow, are you in "advertising"? I think you've got a money making idea.....:)

    Hmmm!

    Well how about terming them as, previously possessed numismatic items with a severe depreciated value now only worth the amount of once mined material from the earth, refined into a solid, with recycle qualities yet to be determined?

    I'll try to "Coin" the term "Melt Silver" if that makes you happier.

    I think the term comes from people who buy/ sell common 90% silver, but are not collectors themselves. They just do not have the respect for coins that collectors like us seem to have.
    I would love to see this term implemented into the auto sales business. The new cars, and sports cars can be called by their names, but used common cars like the Impalas, Tauruses, Camrys, and Jettas are just "junk cars", and are therefore parked acrossed the street.

    It is in the car business.
    They have Junk Yards. Worn, beat up, cars that are worth close to their scrap values can be found there.
