Where are you finding places that will melt your silver for 10% of the spot price no matter the purity?

Even finding many dealers that will give you the same price for scrap .500 or .999?

I used to look for local silver melters to sell for better price. But check out internet "we buy silver" places. They will probably pay about

18~19p per gram for your 50% silver coins (because they are 50%, but the 99.9% they will pay double that.. so.. same price)

I don't recommend u go to local silver buyers. Just sell here. You can get highest price here. With -10%, they will jump in. I would too

if I am not moving soon.

Why bother with paying a premium on 0.500 junk silver coins, when you can buy hallmarked sterling silver 0.925 flatware for less than spot on eBay.  

50% junk silver coin lots are sold 1~5% below spot on ebay. So its not a bad option. Sterling and 500 have same melt fee and handling fee. (I know.. weird.. but checked throug various sources)

But like u said, getting sterling on ebay for Below spot is good idea too. But with junk silver coins u can play with them. Or maybe start cherry picking to differentiate better conditioned ones. I say 500 british silver coins ate probablt most cost efficient and FUN way of stackig silver. 

My silver coins 6% below spot are all sold. Sorry man.

What’s the process of melting down scrap silver if it’s 50% silver when you want to sell it?

I was wondering about that too. apparently the best price can be found in HERE instead of local scrappers.

They will charge same fee(10~20%)  for pure silver, 80%, 92.5% 50% whatever.

So my conclusion is stacking 50% silver is probably most BORING but MOST ECONOMICAL way of stacking.

That being said a little bit of my 50% are on sale for 5% below spot ^^*.
