Scrap refined to bullion

[Subspecies]

Does anyone know where to get scrap silver refined into bullion and have first hand knowledge of this? I had some scrap melted and assayed at the Sheffield assay office but they don't refine. I know there are refineries in the UK but do they deal with individual customers with say 2 kilos of flatware.

@ilovesilverireallydo or bairdmint.com may be able to help. 

But for 2 kilos of flatware, I'd say selling and buying the bullion of choice may be quicker and just as cost effective.

This is on my list of things to learn. I just wanted to give it a go the once but need to jump hoops for the chemicals so never bothered as you are not really gaining anything for turning it into 999.

Thanks for the replies. I'm just wanting to do this as a sh#ts and giggles exercise. The scrap (1907 grams of  925) cost me nothing as came from my fathers estate. I drove to Sheffield assay and just had it melted and assayed as an experience, yes it would have been cheaper to post but ...  Now I'm thinking of getting a few extra ounces of scrap and having it made into 2 one kilo bars of bullion. Which would be easier to offload if I ever needed to.

If you really want to do this for personal reasons, maybe don’t go to 1kg bars, I like them but I suspect you might find that 250 gram bars are significantly more liquid.  
just a thought. 👍
