I sure would not try this unless I was in a pinch.  ".9999" is a measure of
silvers purity, but  90 percent silver coinage tells you little about the
10% that isn't silver.  Remember, things that might be acceptable in a coin,
may not be healthy in your body.  Coins are cast with no particular
attention given to the fact that someone may ingest them.  :-)  Think along
the lines of surgical or food grade quality when putting things in your
body.  If someone gave you a pill that they said was 90% vitamin C, wouldn't
you want to know what the other 10% was before you took the pill.  I think
natural and folk medicine is great, but be wary, there is a line that is
crossed that just doesn't make good sense (at least to me).  Be careful of
the "more is better" thinking.  Colloidal silver is fine and appears to have
at least some antidotal and research evidence to support it's use.  All
these other colloids, I am just not sure about.  Somebody, somewhere will
start selling colloidal uranium, and the bad thing is that people will beat
a path to his/her door to buy it.
