...just buy silver grains? They have farrrrr lower premiums (at least currently).

Why the obsession over bars and coins?

Also why not buy junk silver as well? Even if it's only 40% silver, it's still better than buying at 2x premiums

So if selling blobs of gold (and likely silver) is a thing, then I don't know why you can't just buy silver grain and melt it down into a blob of silver that buyers can analyze.

Think about it this way. I'm pretty sure scrap silver can be sold to dealers at spot price. So they must have some way of identifying how much silver is in your grandma's jewelry box when you bring it to them.

Why can't they do the same with a hunk of silver? It'd be even easier.

you should have a few oz of grain BUT this is only really useful in a situation where fiat collapses and you want to use it to trade. you can weigh out specific amounts for payment. you should actually just get segmented silver bars for this, you can just break those apart, into marked amounts, but the premiums on those are really high

I if I was trading anon for some ammo or a dozen of my chickens eggs I would be very wary of taking these little silver peas. If you are worried about bartering post fiat collapse just be normal and buy junk silver. I dont have a machine or ability to test grains and probably have more buyers for my foodstuffs with actual verifiable coinage anyway.

Silver is actually useful unlike your shitcoin ponzi schemes created by college students.

>> No.18037556

>>18037528
College students don't create, they consume. But boomer rocks cannot be consumed.

The 80s were the rock, period. It was this generation's golden age. Nirvana were well-known in their home town, while Nine Inch Nails had the largest fan base in the city of Detroit, which is where the singer took his family when the band was formed.

Back in those days, there were two kinds of rock fans in Detroit: 1) the average Joe, who frequented all of the local bands, or 2) the members of the music scene, especially Detroit-based bands.

For the first, music really mattered.

PM Dealer Chad here:

Grains are easily tested for purity in seconds

I take a small jewelers file tear drop shaped so the rifles are on the edge as well and scratch a small indentation about 1/16 of an inch into the piece of shot and drop 1 drop of common cheap nitric acid or silver testing solution into the crack and look for a reaction.

Fake shot fizzles foams and turns green oxidizing rapidly

real silver turns light blue with little reaction for nitric acid and with silver testing solution I think if I remember has the same effect
