I have a friend that is looking for some 90% silver to melt down and make a couple of belt buckles for his grandkids. He was asking me what it would take to get about 5 ounces. So I would be looking for about $7 face in junk 90%. This stuff can be bent, scratched, etc since it will be melted down. What should I expect to pay for 90% at $23.27 spot? Is 17x face a reality?
Looking on eBay I see $10 face of 90% is selling for about $180 shipped, so close to spot isn't bad.
My fault for the slight dip, I bought 6 ounces of silver yesterday at 2x spot.
That was with shipping and fees, only saving grace was they are vintage... antique maybe? 1973 rounds.

If you keep this up can you put up the G&S ratio so I don't have to do the math
