    Sounds like the yard isn't making much on that sterling. It has to be at least 92% silver to be sterling, right (can it be higher?)? Spot this morning was $13.82 so an ounce of 92% sterling would be worth $12.71 and then someone has to refine the sterling to make closer to pure silver. Maybe yards always work with such low margins...

    I don't know what the yard was paying but they destroyed each piece cutting it or taking it to a grinding wheel. Everything was coming out of uhaul boxes so maybe somebody scored at a storage auction?
