Mixed.  Tubes of silver stay in tubes and are vac sealed.  Loose coins are put in capsules and these are the ones I look at etc

Not for me either .... And I like giraffes.  It doesn't fit into my idea of stacking, investment or flipping.  You will likely find few people interested in it if you resell and I seriously doubt they will be willing to cover the premium you paid

If it's a modern silver coin from the royal mint you almost have to expect it developing milk spots at some point.

The next one.  It must be the magpie in me

@pricha I don't believe that buyers are "totally innocent" not do I think that they should do zero research into what they are spending money on.  Its just that people seem to have a default of blame the buyer as they didn't xyz and with the variety and varying quality of fakes even "experts" can be fooled. 

@pricha I stand by my opinion.

Clearly we don't share a sense of humour. 

How would you class comments such as they deserve it for being greedy, not doing enough research, etc?

I was taken in by a scammer on ebay when I first started.  They weren't as blatant as this so I have little empathy for the scum who pull this sort of thing or those that defend them with "people should know better" etc

i,m sure i read somewhere that silver ( when it is molten) can absorb up to ten times its volume of oxygen

could the fact you are melting it with an oxy torch mean you are introducing too much gas into the molton silver?

causing the eruptions?

just a thought 

cheers i thought it was only aluminium that had this issue

The way i see things is this: 1) Prices move up, down and sideways with people making and loosing a lot of money trying to predict patterns 2) Spend what you are comfortable with and don't chase prices 3) Having a little bit outside the fiat system gives you options but having skills, health and peace of mind are as important.

Given the way things are people on this forum are eager for a bargain.  Don't sell your self short or ask too much and they will be snapped up

Also no sellers fees etc unlike ebay

Welcome.  I don't expect many to profit big from what is coming but most of us are hoping to hang onto what what wealth we do have.  Either way the guys here are friendly and knowledgeable

Troy oz is the usual measure of precious metal weight.  ounces and fluid ounces etc are used for other things
