You're right, because that would more than make up for the silver content that was supposedly missing. Something I warned you about and provided a solution for in the first place. So yes, I did go above and beyond 2 times. I do not melt my coins, I collect them. If all it took to get you off my back was one silver quarter, that was fine with me. Again, I know you are so upset not because of the purity of the bars, but because you couldn't turn the deal on silver you got around, because you didn't realize its much harder to trade self-made ingots than it is to trade professionally minted ones. I know I violated my own self saying I was not going to post anymore, but African Hunter has just proved that I offered a second solution to provide him with the silver he supposedly (important word here) was missing.

I went to a local store, saw this on the shelf and couldn't believe it. I can't believe this stuff is available in my state! You can have it (shipping included) for 1.25 BTC. That's me hardly making profit, but I need BTC to pay back a loan. Discrete packaging. Let me know!

As an aside: it was the same during Civl-War US. People didn't know which bond to buy (Fed. or Union), so they just didn't buy any. They hoarded  government coins cause they were gold and silver. So, merchants had to make their own coins They're pretty cool, I have a small collection.

Due to recent events, I'll be making only 92.5% ingots. I'm just doing it this way because the possibility of someone claiming different purity levels is impossible. Not to mention, pure silver shot is expensive. I melt scrap sterling silver (not coins). In case some silver gets lost in the process (not entirely sure how it would, I pour as soon as silver is molten), I add a good amount of silver shot (.99 silver) to each mold. And even though I don't do coins, I suppose I could if you wanted. Just be aware that they would be of 90% purity (but I'd add shot to these too).
I have a three 925 bars I made today. Unfortunately I didn't think until the third one to film the process. I did though, from start to finish. From showing you the Hallmarks on each of the scrap pieces to sanding, tumbling and polishing. I'm trying to find a site to host it at because YouTube's maximum video time is 15 mins, and mine is more than a half hour. I could do multiple videos but I prefer not to. Anyways, I'm sure I'll find a video hosting site that I can use very soon. On principle, I won't sell any silver until I have that video up.
You may know what recent event I'm talking about (not mentioning it though because I'm over it), but I want it to be known that I conduct only real, honest business with everyone on here. The issue at hand-I was being honest (I thought), and anyhow it is alright with the customer because I sent along additional silver as an insurance policy-enough to cover total silver content exchanged even if my ingots were of sub-92.5% quality.
But like I said-I REALLY want to be done with that. I've done business with a lot of good people on this site and I hope to be able to continue to do so. If you look at some of my other posts, every customer has been 100% satisfied. I can't tell you how much I like this site and how impressed I am buy it. Buyers/sellers have countless ways to scam-but they don't. Thats free-market at its finest and I respect that dearly, and am happy to be a part of it.

I'm sorry, but I can't resist. Here we have another genius. Are you familiar with the melting temperature of silver? How about copper? zinc? 92.5% silver contains impurities, like the aforementioned. They have a higher melting temperature than silver does. Therefore, they don't get melted, and they don't get poured into the mold. A little more clear for you now, Bill Nye?
No matter what African Hunter or anybody says, I'm done with this thread. African Hunter made his signature "Happy with me exposing JohnnieWalker? Donate Bitcoins Here: xx" over about $5 worth of silver, which this entire argument was about. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you're upset because you can't market my ingots like you can professionally minted ones. Thats why they were offered at the price they were. You thought you found a great deal and could capitalize on it, but you weren't so lucky. You have more silver than if every one of those bars was .99, and you didn't even pay for it. If anyone has any doubt: literally the value at hand here is less than $5. Who would go to so much work and spend so much time arguing over $5.

Me on December 4: Just one thing-I know these are .99 and having another person in possession of them scares me. No offense to you (of course not, you're a guy on the internet), but there are plenty of people who would come back saying "It isn't .99" and I would have no recourse.
Also, the reason I priced these so low is because I need to sell them fast. If all you could give me right now was 50% I might have to pass. But I'll tell you this-as a man and as a screenshot of this message, if the bars are not what I say they are, contact me and I will make it right (in-case theres no discrepancy-which there isn't, but I don't want it to be .9899 or something like that) after Christmas, when I''m not broke. Or before-I have more silver coins.

Even though no evidence was presented, apparently the bars were not what I said. My recourse: Sending the Barber Half Dollar. Case Closed.

LOL WARNING them? Are you that pathetic? You realize you've been arguing over about $5 in silver (which you already have)? Hold on, let me dig through some old messages.

I feel you on the caps, and I regret that. Its like how they say to wait a day to cool off before you do anything. Bold I would only use for emphasis.

So everyone knows-TECSHARE has said he would like to buy all of the coins for spot. That would be (with silver @ 30.06, BTC @ $13.52...damn i wish it was a couple days ago):
Liberty Dollar=26.73 grams x .9=24.057 grams/pure=
Washington Quarter pre-1964=6.25 x 6=37.5 x .9=33.75 grams/pure
Eisenhower/Mercury/Barber Dimes=2.5 x 38=95 x .9=85.5-1 gram for wear and tear=84 grams/pure
30.01/31.1=$.965/gram
So, Liberty Dollar= $23.22=1.65 BTC
Quarter=$5.43/ea=$32.57 total=.4 BTC, 2.41 BTC
Dimes(all)=$2.172/ea=(1 subtracted)$81.51 total=.16 BTC,=6.02 BTC

Now, silver has declined in a matter of days from $34/oz to $30/oz
I am not inclined to sell these immediately, I can sit on them and wait til silver goes back up. That being said and considered, please post your offers and if they sound reasonable I will PM you.
Thanks everyone

I didn't quote "African Hunter"'s last reply because the quoting was getting ridiculous. If anyone wants to see, I have plenty of messages telling "African Hunter" that these may not be of .99 purity. He knew they were the first ingots I ever cast. I am a numismatist also, and so I picked a Barber Half Dollar (11.25 grams of pure silver) to throw in. In messages, "African Hunter" kept repeating that he would buy the Barber from me. But I said no, I am including it in case the purity of the ingots is not .99. Now, I sold "African Hunter" a .87, .97. 1 ounce, and 1.1 ounce (and they were overweight...like the 1.1 was 1.13 or something). That way I figured that even if the ingots were of .925 purity (since this is the scrap I melted), "African Hunter" would have the Barber and thus the additional 11.5 grams of silver. I would like "African Hunter" to say that he got less silver than he paid for, since he did notpay for the additional 11.5 grams of silver. That was me being careful, trying to ensure this exact same thing didn't happen.
Now, what I believe to be the case is that "African Hunter" thought he could take the great deal on silver he got from me, turn around, and sell it for more. But, people are hesitant to buy silver not minted by any professional agency/institution/etc. I keep them myself for long-term investment. If you want to buy silver that you can easily trade, I suggest the US mint.
And for the user that said I threatened to call the police-I only did so out of fear because "African Hunter" happens to live locally. I do not know him or his temperament-he is just some guy on the internet. If it became a matter of my safety, I most certainly would have called the police.

Are you guys serious? The sale I made with "African Hunter" was for my INGOTS ONLY . In case this EXACT thing happened, I sent the buyer a Barber half dollar to make up for all of the silver missing in case I couldn't achieve purity. So, basically, if the ingots were .999 the buyer would have less silver than he does now, because I wouldn't have sent him the half dollar. I have messages if anyone would like. But I believe this is merely someone thinking they got a great deal that they could flip-but they couldnt.

I thought I'd offer some of the things I plan to melt down soon before I melt them down. Not all of them are scrap (coins are though), and therefore are not worth merely spot. If you would like anything you see in the pictures, let me know. I'll weigh it up for you and send you a picture of it on the scale. I'm out for the night though, so expect a response tomorrow.
Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your support. The bottomline is this: The ingots you purchased are the first ones I ever made. I TOLD you that. I melted 925 scrap and added .99 shot-so it is really hard for me to believe a bar tested under 925. Also, I told you (have messages) that I was nervous about the bars being under .99 purity, because I was NEW to this. So, I INSISTED on throwing in a Barber Half Dollar. The Barber Half contained enough silver to compensate silver-content wise even if the bars WERE 925. I purposely went above and beyond to ensure this same thing would not happen.
You come back to me now, probably about a month later saying you want to return this item? You left good feedback for me somewhere else. YOU GOT MORE SILVER THAN YOU PAID FOR W/ME INCLUDING THE BARBER HALF-AND YOU WANT A RETURN? THE ANSWER IS NO. I will not conduct further business with you, either. By the way, who assays (an assay costs about $60) about 4oz of silver? And you have no documentation from this place?
I'm not letting one bad apple ruin the whole tree. And I appreciate the person who said this is an art form-it is. By the way, I use[d] a graphite mold but I hated it, switched to cast iron. Anyways, I will not cease melting my silver. What I will do-because I have absolutely nothing to hide (and thats what I loved about this site-everyone I've dealt with besides this guy has been a smooth, pleasant transaction) is FILM THE POURING OF EVERY SINGLE INGOT. YOU WILL SEE THE HALLMARKED SILVER DOWN TO THE INGOT BEING SANDED, TUMBLED, AND POLISHED.
To "African Hunter": Unfortunately you live locally, and quite frankly I'm afraid you'll show up at my doorstep. If you do this, I will call the police. Our business has long since been done. Please don't contact me in any way/shape/form again.

A while back I sent a customer a bunch of my hand-poured ingots. They were literally the first ones I ever made. He told me that he was going to have them assayed (assessed for silver content). I was fine with that because I had nothing to hide. The bars I sold him were [what I thought to be] of .99 purity. However, since he was having them professionally assayed, I sent along a silver coin with him that would make up the difference if each of my bars were only 92.5% (impossible I figured because I was only melting 925 scrap, and I added plenty of silver shot to the mix). Just now he says he has had them assayed, and that some are even below .925. Interesting, though that he can not provide any documentation of having this assay done. He lives locally so he said "you can come some place with me and I'll show you". Sure, I
d love to go to your buddy's pawn shop.
The bottom line here though is that even with the purity being what he claims it to be, he has ended up with more silver than if all of the bars were .99-because remember I sent that coin (a US Barber Half). What I think he is upset about is realizing that there's not as big a market for hand-poured ingots and that he wasn't able to flip the super-deal he got. Because now he wants to "return" the bars for something "professionaly marked" or for US Coins. I am not the customer service department at Macey's-I don't do returns.
Since he got what he paid for (PLUS some) in terms of silver, I told him to leave me alone otherwise it is harassment, and that if he shows up on my property I will call the police. I won't mention his username because hopefully I won't have to.
But this has led me to decide one more thing: so people can't claim they did an assay (which costs about $60-interesting when you're buying less than 4 ounces of silver) and my purity was off, I am going to video tape each ingot I make, from showing you the 925 hallmark to stamping it.
Also, just because I'm curious, this all seems like BS to you guys too, right? I'm not going crazy?

Oh, and these are still for sale...just as [FAKE] Cuban cigars. There's gotta be some value to em there still lol. I'll put em at .35BTC shipped.

Naw, you got me. I educated myself as to what to look for on the box (i.e. where the export stamp is-which is the same thing as the warranty seal I think. At least on alcohol it is.), but not what to look for on the cigar itself. I guess I got taken. And yes, south of the border is Mexico. I know there's TONS of fakes down there, but I was thinking it'd be the street carts that sold those, not the fancy humidified room I walked into. I go down there often. If you wouldn't mind, can you PM me telling me what to look for/how to spot real vs fake ones?

Hey, thanks for the good feedback, and thanks for going to all those lengths to make the album and everything! Since you're interested in weight, I received a loan and  purchased on my own a TON (not literally) of scrap silver and am just waiting til it comes to start refining it and making some ingots (925 and 999). Went shopping today and found some rings with just the faintest 925 marks on them (if you weren't looking for it you'd have never seen them). I brought my JSP test solution (you can see remnants of it in the picture lol) and it turned out they were really 925! So, I just quick made a little one once ingot. I didn't sand or polish it too much because it was right on the line...1.01 ozt. The one's I'm gonna be refining you can bet are gonna be more aesthetically pleasing (nothing like the first round of ingots-everything takes practice). If you're interested, you can keep a look out for those. If you like coins, some of the scrap I'm getting is .90 (coins), so I'll post those to see if anyones interested before I melt em down.
Anyways, thanks again-do business with you anytime.

Obviously domain names don't mean everything. But you can't argue that they mean absolutely nothing. Come on.

Haha, I think you're in perfect health. I'd sell it to you for 20 BTC.
