    Frederick Coin Exchange is where I get my metals. I like to get a 20 coin treasury tube of silver eagles every year. Is that dog still there? I haven't been there in almost a year.

    Ha, yeah he was there a few weeks ago laying on that couch in the front window! Plenty of years on him, but he looked happy :D

    That's right. Old Morgans and Peace dollars carry a higher premium because they are actual old currency and recognized everywhere. Also U.S. Mint-issued silver eagles carry a premium over generic silver because it has a dollar denomination. So generic .999 silver is the "cheapest" silver per ounce.

    I have a friend who has carried a 100% silver eagle in his pocket for about a year. The thing looks like it's 100 years old. Pure silver is soft and wears down fast.

    For the silver bullets, the ones NWTM sells are, I think, a better deal. Plus I really like the 10 round box.

    Why does your friend carry a silver eagle in his pocket?

    Pfft, everyone knows that only solid silver projectiles can kill werewolves, with 3% antimony.
    That's something I've been wondering. Silver plate should be enough. Many supernatural shows have silver knives. Can silver be hardened enough to hold a decent edge?

    Where does antimony enter into the metallurgy?

    Well, in the science of homeopathy, if you dilute a substance enough so that none of the original substance remains then the substance that you diluted it with still holds the "memory" (for lack of a better word) of the original substance. Therefore if you use 3% antimony in silver and keep adding silver you still have 3% antimony. There was a guy on here from southern Maryland who could explain it a lot better, but that was the jist of it.
