I have some .925 bars I have poured myself, what percentage of the spot silver price will my local coin store pay for these?
I would try to sell them here. A coin store will pay you around 65% of spot. Around here, whenever I post a for sale add for silver around 97% of spot, I sell it within a day.
Yeah, but not for hand poured .925 bars. Nobody will have the ability to confirm the purity as they are unmarked.
I would forget going to a coin store. Go to the most popular and trusted jewelry store that purchases scrap gold and silver.
Agreed. I think you would need to go to a jewelry store so they can test it. Unless you live in an area where you have a commercial smelter and refiner nearby. We have one here and I have taken dental gold to them. They will melt it down and refine and give you a pure stamped bar (they keep 10% of the metal as their fee) or they will pay you. I can't remember what percent they paid but I know it was more than the local jewelry stores. Here is who I used: http://www.aaametals.com/index.htm
