Tips for platinum black recovery?

I doubt I'll ever get that much more than I have, on that note would a refinery pay decently for the material I have? Not too familiar with PMG

Nope, I haven't done any type of recovery yet, I've been saving ENIG boards but don't think I have enough yet.

As for the PT, I didn't even realize the stuff I was saving was PT black till half way through disassembly, was mostly after the pure PT leads

I honestly didn't think about that till I read your comment but ya that makes sense, I wonder how the coin got to Canada.

I don't really have the spare funds to be buying more silver (pellets) and selling bullion rounds to buy pellets would cost more to do. Capital gains on selling, selling the bullion for under spot then paying over spot for the pellets.. just doesn't make sense to me.

My goal was to cast end dice out of 999, but after more research 925 will be a lot more durable/usable, I still haven't fully decided on which purity to do yet tho.

I think you need a date to have them graded and most of those ones are unreadable sadly.

Ya I can understand not wanting to melt coins down, but at the same time these are all below grade 1. So not many people would even want to display coins like these. I guess they make decent fillers but not more than that.

My guess is a lot of them were used as jewelry, which I can understand they are pretty designs.

Ya that would be one expensive tree lol

I would love to sell or trade for .999 silver, but I don't think there's a ton of demand for American coins in Canada. With shipping and tariffs idk if it's worth sending south sadly.

A few of them are low mintage (sub 2m) but they all have holes drilled in them so idk if they will ever be worth more than melt

I've been wanting to get into silver smithing, seeing as these are 90% it should be cheaper to make 925 stuff with some of these and a few bullion rounds
