<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1736988, member: 9167&quot;]I&#039;m not a chemist so I don&#039;t know how elements work in detail, but I wonder if the newer silver coins aren&#039;t made more from, or mixed with a conglomerate of recycled silver instead of first use mined silver and may have to do with quality issues. You&#039;d think elements in their raw form would be consistent regardless and it wouldn&#039;t make a difference. Maybe so. I do know in our traction motors of our locomotives at work they only use first use mined copper for the giant coils, as they say the electrons line up correctly, or something along those lines. It leads me to believe the same metal elements can have different characteristics based on how many times it&#039;s re-worked into something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
