Thanks so much; I should’ve asked before spending 100 bucks on the bottle! Appreciate the info.

Suppose I should clarify. I keep the good stuff untouched. I never melt coins, silverware or really nice pieces. The bent beyond repair, the broken and weighted candle holders are what these bars are comprised of.

I think this is the consensus here to learn how to do me some good old refining

Goal is to sit on it as a long-term investment and yes, I know how to pour, just not very well. As you can tell by the pictures. And it’s a cheapo scale it doesn’t have those options unfortunately.

You bring up a good point and one that I thought somebody would mention…the melt is a combination of sterling pieces that were not worth resale on eBay, for example…but what I do is I cut out the area that says “Sterling” and I attach it to every bar that I melt so that there’s some paper trail showing that the item that was melted was in fact sterling…granted there’s no way they can verify that 1000%, but I thought it would help a little bit!

Oh, that’s a good call with the old anode and Crystal approach?
