<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26487543, member: 27832&quot;]The only thing mixed with silver in 40% <i>or</i> 90% is copper. That makes it really easy to refine - but it <i>does</i> need refining. And until you&#039;ve refined it, you&#039;re carrying and storing an extra 11% (for 90%) or 150% (for 40%) of weight and volume.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sterling is closer to pure silver, 92.5%, but that 7.5% balance can be all <i>sorts</i> of things, all chemically different. That makes it more of a pain to refine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
