<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1385798, member: 66&quot;]I responded to this on another forum.&nbsp; I think it is a big mistake.&nbsp; I might save a very small amount in manufacturing costs, but it would mean as much as a 10% increase in materials cost.&nbsp; Hardly a savings.&nbsp; Another problem is the way the bill is written.&nbsp; Nowhere does it actually call for 999 fine silver, it calls for &quot;at least 900 fine&quot; silver.&nbsp; This means that ANY fineness between 900 and 999 would be acceptable.&nbsp; That means that the actual fineness could could vary considerably from one batch of planchets to the next and all would still be acceptable.&nbsp; The collector could be paying a higher price based on the assumption of 999 fine silver and receiving 901 fine and that would be within specs!&nbsp; The planchet supplier would love it.&nbsp; Do a crude refining and if it comes back over 90% your done no further costly refining needed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
