<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1280218, member: 22143&quot;]Coins are fungible and PM coins are, if sold in bags are considered almost equivalent to bullion.&nbsp; The dealer may buy the silver coins and simply sell them rather than smelt them.&nbsp; I can&#039;t see where it&#039;s an advantage to a refiner to purchase a $15,000 bag of coins only to melt them down into $15,000 worth of silver bars.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s what makes money for the refiner, not the process.&nbsp;&nbsp; Silver junk, including silverware and all sorts of silver containing jewelery don&#039;t have this advantage and thus this is why they are worth less to a refiner.&nbsp;&nbsp; They have to be refined before they become a sellable asset.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
