You do realize that silver coins were only ever made at 90% purity, right? So essentially you wish to melt them down and lie about the quality? Good luck but it sure sounds like a waste of time and energy to me (not to mention the unethical bits again).

Hello and welcome to the forum. You might have better luck with gold refiners forum. Here we recycle and scrap stuff. Refining is not the main forte here. Oh, and I have heard that those silver coins are a lie also, they are silver clad and not pure all the way through.

Happy scrapping.

I would not waste my time. Although they have no numismatic value as you say they are "junk Silver" they are still in the denominations they came in. In this state , in a crisis or for sale they are much easier to trade or get rid of them as they are a know quantity ( 90% silver coins, 1964 and earlier Go to www.coinflation .com and it will give you the current melt value of each coin based on the spot market and there is also a quantity calculator for larger quantities. If you melt them yourself you would have to prove the
purity of the silver whereas with the coins you don't need to . Just my 2 Cents .....
