I don’t sell constitutional silver to them but buy it from them, occasionally.

MsMorrisine · December 10, 2025 9:44AM

who is your source if you don't mind me asking?

TwoSides2aCoin · December 10, 2025 10:00AM

I typically use Elemetal as my refiner…. accounts with A-Mark and Dorado Trade Group on the buy and sell sides. Locally, I deal with Dave at Coinhuskers and Elemetal , who happen to be neighbors , so there’s that convenience. It’s all about “shakin’ the bush, boss.” Mostly it is with regular joe’s like you and me.

Just called them and they don't deal with the public. They say they are wholesale.

That’s true. There was a a vetting process that took place. But I can facilitate others, and do.

Well it’s junk you often refer to that cannot find a happy home. Who wants it ?

I have a feeling that their practice of dealing only with businesses reduces the risk of dealing with stolen goods.

Those dimes are in need of a serious bath. What's with all the green corrosion looking stuff? I thought the gutter didn't corrode? THKS!

TwoSides2aCoin · December 14, 2025 7:43AM

Those dimes were in a flood. That is apparently copper….. I had them in acetone for a week.

10% is your beloved gutter.

Try vinegar.

TwoSides2aCoin · December 18, 2025 4:38PM

Copper does turn green.
10% junk , 90% precious…if copper is junk. Try recycling a few pounds and the recyclers practically want a DNA sample to buy it. Where’s the junk ?

Pretty sure vinegar will work. If not, nitric acid will.

jmski52 · December 18, 2025 9:17PM

I'd forego the nitric. Besides, you'd lose some metal.
