How long and to what temperature would you have to heat Canadian Maple Leaf coins to get the silver back to soft silver. My understanding it is hard from the stamping (working), silver gets hard from working it. If I melt it and pour into a flat sheet would it be soft. Maple Leaf coins are cheapest way to buy pure silver. I live across the border from our Canadian Neighbors. For my Canadian Neighbors where do you buy the coins at. I wonder if it would be worth my trouble to go over to buy some coins as E Bay seems high. How much are coins over in Canada. Do you get them in Bank or where. Too bad they do not have them at the Duty Free store as we stop there when we go over fishing. You are suppose to stay for 24 hours but if you get only a bottle per person and declare it we do not get taxed. More and we probably would get taxed. It would cost more for paper work than they would get in taxes every thing is about money. SICK LEAVE / Bob
