[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 950310, member: 24633"]This appears to be one of those instances where a "he said, she said" corollary is not supported by facts, and you've made a broad assumption based on misinformation. In the first place, the thread you referenced was originally discussing scrap sterling silver from jewelry & flatware which can be very different from sterling silver that is used for coins, and the extraction process may or may not be more costly. Then someone else mentioned 90% silver for coins in the same thread, which again, is totally different from the sterling silver used for jewlery & flatware. The "fillers" that are commonly used for sterling silver jewelry and flatware are usually cheaper than the fillers used for sterling silver coins. Furthermore, there is no "special" extraction process for sterling silver from coins as opposed to the extraction process for 90% silver coins because sterling silver is merely a finer grade of silver. The last time I checked, silver is still silver. Please, before you start making blanket statements based on hearsay, make sure you have all the facts. Chris[/QUOTE]
