<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1226953, member: 24274&quot;]@JeffB - That is interesting info on the discount rates. Seems very odd that sterling would sell at a discount to 90% silver, since it actually has a higher silver content. I guess the difference could be that U.S. coinage doesn&#039;t generally get smelted, because it trades better in its current form. </p><p><br /></p><p>@coleguy - What would that extra step be -- deplating? I just don&#039;t think anyone would really do that. If you smelted a gold-plated .999 round, the amount of gold in the mix would easily fall into that .001. It sounds suspiciously like an excuse to tack on another 2 percent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
