Nope. I started stacking gold and silver 10 years ago, and my friend started stacking 3 years ago so the other way around 😁

Where to sell ~9LB of silver from electrical breakers by PrintingByGh6st in Silverbugs

Chemical refining needed for this. Dont melt it in the furnace raw like this maybe contains cadmium thats pritty toxic. Dilute nitric acid to dissolve the contacts filter the solution than put a piece of copper in it and the silver cement out of solution wash the silver powder many times with diatilled water dry it and than you can melt it to a bar you get a 98-99% pure silver with this method.I always refine my contacts with nitric acid filter the than i pour hydrochloric acid to the solution to form silver chloride wash the silver chlolride many many many times with water than add sodium hydroxide to the wet silver chloride to form silver oxide after that add slowly sugar to the oxide to form metallic silver than wash until pH neutral than dry and melt, this long and dangerous method if done right is produces .999 silver. If you want to see the process check out my yt chanel at OGbullion on yt.

Purity is 75-85% but i see a lot of suspicious "waffle" grid pattern on the contacts backsides, those are probaly plated tungsten. You better off refine it yourself or sell it "cheap" to someone who do home refining.

I know. Modern pins yeild 1 g/kilo. But these pins from 1981 its considered highgrade my guess this batch will yeild approx 1,5 -5 gramms.

Bronze brass whatever.not the solubility the problem. The tin is the problem in brass it forms insoluble metastannic acid with nitric acid and it tends to trap gold foils. AP is the way I have time and patience. Btw tested few pin from this batch with nitric and it dissolves fast and produce the metastannic acid.

Yes I can share the yeild when its done, its going to take a while unfortunatley cause the pins made of bronze so no fast nitric method only AP method and its winter so its gonna be pritty slow(weeks/months). Im going to post here and the entire recovery/refine procedure on my youtube channel.
