I dunno too much about the prices on silver wire. I've been kind of looking around and thinking of making with the wire as someone told me there is more contact or something. But for now using coins is much cheaper. They last a long time too. The person who first told me about making CS said they'd probably last me forever. Not sure what it takes to wear them down. Does anyone know any drawbacks to using the silver coins?

At ccsilver, they say their 99.9% is $31/oz, but they don't give a price directly for 99.99%. Converting from length to oz, it looks to me like ccsilver's 99.99% is around $37, so they are comparable. Are there cheaper places?

Silver is at $17 an ounce right now.....This site wants $36.... I use silver bouillon coins .999 you can usually get them a couple dollars over going rate. Of course you have to be set up with alligator clips. Anyway, just wanted to point that out. Maybe there is more involved with making silver wire than minting coins, but that seems awful high. I guess too they don't want to hassle with adjusting prices with silver market.
