<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1932553, member: 37498&quot;]I don&#039;t know how I missed this earlier, but I would refine it using nitric acid and electrolysis.&nbsp; I would leave it in crystal form.&nbsp; I already have a few ounces of silver in crystal form and I think it&#039;s quite interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t &quot;expect&quot; any person in particular to buy it, but I regularly see home brew silver sell on FeeBay for full melt value.&nbsp; Of course, that&#039;s melt minus 10% or more after factoring in fees and shipping, so there&#039;s really no profit there.&nbsp; If I do this, it really would be just for the experience.&nbsp; If I take a loss, then so be it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did try to have a go at it a couple of months ago.&nbsp; I went to the chemistry store here on campus and they do sell nitric acid in 1 gallon bottles for $20, but they won&#039;t sell it to individuals, or even chemistry students unless they&#039;re working on a project that has been approved by a professor.&nbsp; (Nitric acid has been declared an explosive precursor by the feds)&nbsp; She said if I had a business license and insurance she could sell it to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Should I decide to do this, I might have to do it together with my brother or the owner of a coin store that I am close friends with.&nbsp; Neither of which would be a stretch to say they&#039;re doing silver refining as part of their business.&nbsp; My brother owns an IT company that often deals with large amounts of ewaste and the coin store has even more obvious refining interests.&nbsp; They could purchase the nitric acid, and we could refine the silver together.&nbsp; Fun, fun, fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
