closed Near Spot Price Scrap Silver

A customer of mine sent me what he thought was 999 silver that he wanted melting down into something nice. What he had was not 999 silver. 

It is (as best as I can tell doing a specific gravity test) 900 - 925 silver. It is most likely melted old silver jewellery and/or cutlery. 

Anyway, he wants me to sell it so that he can buy some of my 999 work and is happy to let it go as a scrap lot at close to spot.

Total weight is 5.54 oz (assuming worst case 90% silver = 5 oz of real silver) 

So We are looking for £70.50 delivered (2nd signed for, additional postage at your cost if you want it) 

So that Works out at £14.10 per oz which is spot at the time of posting. 

Payment via Paypal F&F or G&S (+3%) OR banks transfer. 

I will be featuring these in a video on Sunday where I do a specific gravity test - but if you buy and subsequently test at different levels I will of course offer a full refund/return. 

Any questions please just ask!

Just out of curiosity - if you melted sterling silver or say an alloy that is approx. 90% silver can you not separate out the impurities by raking off the top crust or leaving behind any solids in the crucible ? That's refining I assume so is it more difficult than combing the surface of impurities ?

Not sure, I think the only way to separate it is with acid and melt it all away then separate the pure silver out.
