<p>[QUOTE="qsb, post: 848242, member: 24378"]<span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">This can only be done by refining the coins. The copper, tin, or whatever material is in them does not separate from the silver just by melting it (I've done it...). If that were the case then we wouldn't need assayers and refineries. Usually a refinery will take a certain percentage of the precious metals that they refine as payment, so again personally I think it would be worth it to just keep the coins for what they are worth. There is a large market for "junk silver" and it's anything but "junk."</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
