<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1386386, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;m sure they aren&#039;t intending to propose an &quot;anything goes&quot; composition, but the way it is written that is what could happen.&nbsp; What would probably be the determing factor is whether the planchet manufacturer is just buying 999 fine silver or if they are also refining the silver to make the planchets from.&nbsp; Either way you could have a problem.&nbsp; If they are refining once they are over 90% it&#039;s good enough.&nbsp; If they are buying 999 fine there would be the temptation to add some copper to the melt.&nbsp; As long as you add less than 10% by weight it will be over 900 fine and they are saving some on the silver.&nbsp; And unless the mint assays each melt and pays for that batch based on it fineness, how do pay for these planchets?&nbsp; You run the risk of paying for one fineness and receiving a lower fineness.&nbsp; Sorry I&#039;m just not the trusting type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
