That's exactly what I've been looking at.

Found it, thats what I meant by grab bag .999 generic silver.

Theres a ton of tests that you can do, however I would highly reccomend investing in an ultrasound machine, and a electronic purity tester. The ultrasound machine is used to test to make sure that the silver is silver all the way through, lacking any lovely tungsten/lead insert. The electronic purity tests do just that, and show the purity of the metal.

IDEA

What we would do is make videos of EVERY silver test we ever do, then we add our stamp (brand). And that way we can honestly say we sell .999+ silver (and have all semi-failed tests sell at a discount). And people will come to know that anything with our symbol on it, is not only automatically trustworthy, but can be looked up on YouTube and verified.

I know, I was just saying that I like the aesthetic quality.

I also want to make a silver hammer (for my dead brother) his name was Mason (which means stone worker, so maybe I will make a chisel also), he had a hammer that he kept in his room.
I can't tell if this hammer is real silver, but like this.


His middle name was also "Ryan" (my first name) which means "King" in Irish. So I want to make a crown to keep with the hammer. And his last name was wight, and silver is white-ish (we have different last names).
Like this, but with weed leaves instead of the fluer de lee (or whatever it is called), because my brother used to say it smelled like me whenever he smelled weed anywhere, and when he saw a dispensary he would ask what it was, and I know if he would have lived to be old enough, he would have loved Marijuana.

Hit up some local coin shops too.  Sometimes they'll give you a good deal if they want to unload.  I buy junk silver a lot, usually $1.50-$2 over spot.

I just plan on buying whatever I can afford, whenever I can.

I understand certain coins are cool to have (hence my avatar), but silver is silver is silver is silver.  I don't buy bulk for numismatic investments, only for intrinsic store of value.  Buy 10oz billion bars.  I have a buch of those.  It's on the cheap right now too! 

I like the silver Roman coins. I would buy some of those.

maybe thats interesting for you?


"Litecoin and Bitcoin in the Context of the Gold-Silver Ratio"

good info except for the bags of coins from apmex. the bags are 90% not .999

Silver is cool. We have some charts on the prices at Gold Silver Bitcoin. Congratulations on your new business. Are there any artists out there interested in actually creating silver art? I saw this crazy photo/painting on like Pawn Stars and it reflected different at different times of the day, based on the time (obviously.)

They have nothing to do with bitcoin, quite the opposite.

Wow.
Thank you so much.

I'm actually in Colorado, but plan on getting back to my home state (Texas) one day.

1) The average price of silver changes daily. In the last few months, it has been anywhere from $20 - $35 per oz aproximately

2) The average price of silver in BTC would be something you would have to calculate using the silver price, and the Average BTC price

3) There are plenty of precious metal forums, if you google it, you will find many many names. For your purposes though, I would try and avoid the numismatic ones, as they deal in rare old silver coins and such.

4) If you need a very large amount, I'd check APMEX, they are one of the biggest names in silver, and they offer a grabbag sort of deal for $.70 over spot per ounce, for random pieces of silver. However they are guarenteed to be .999 and of the weight you purchase.

5) I'm not sure about Bulk silver, for BTC, but Amagi is pretty reputable.

6) When making things out of silver, use sterling silver .925 Silver. .999 Silver is too soft and if if you make things out of it, it will get dented and dinged all to hell.

7) Everyone on BTCTalk is trustworthy if you use escrow and test your silver to make sure its not fake

8.  Some of the basics, you will need a metal melting crucible. I'd advise a electric one that you can melt up to .5-1KG in for like $500, or you can get hard core and make a ceramic one. You will also need an anvil, planching hammer, proper waxes for modeling, and various other tools that I don't entirely remember off of the top of my head.

9) It really depends on how much silver you are talking about for flatening, stamping, and etching. Silver is a soft metal, however like for 1Oz coins, rounds, and bars like you see for sale by various companies, you will need at least a 10 ton hydraulic press. You can get away with just using muscle if you are doing much smaller stuff, like 1 gram coins.

10) You should be able to bend the silver with a hammer (proper type) and an anvil

11) People hate on Silver shot/grain because once the bag is opened, theres no guarentee of purity. The pieces tend to be too small to accurately test, so it could very easily be counterfeit.

I like amagimetals for silver/gold for btc.  Although, if you want to make a huge purchase of silver with cash, Europac Metals is where I go.  10K min on your first purchase.  They have sales and deals from time to time with minimal premiums.  PM me for more details.  As far as silver/BTC prices, check Coinapps.  Best there is.

I love the Texas theme.  Are you in Tejas?  I am in DFW and would buy one of your silver coins if you end up making them.

I absolutely love silver as a precious metal.  To me it is way more useful than gold, as it has a lot of use in the medical field.

Thanks
