Hi, I can guarantee you that 99.99 is available.  I have mine made for me by 
Handy and Harman, a thousand ounces at a time, in 14 gauge wire size.  They 
charge spot (current silver price) plus a work fee per ounce, and You can get 
in touch with them at 1-800-24-KARAT.  However, their minimum order is 500 
ounces for the four 9 fine.

Yours in health,
James Allison

  List,

  It would appear that 99.99% fine silver is almost impossible to obtain, even 
in USA, below is a copy of two emails from Hauser & Miller, who are I believe 
leading precious metal dealers in USA. Any comments anyone?

  John in Australia


  Dear John,

  All we carry is .999 fine silver, not .9999. It is available in 12ga, we can 
ship to Australia, and we do accept Visa.

  Thanks.

  John,

  Sorry, not off-hand do I know any merchants of 4-9's silver. As for the 
impurities, usually it is copper but of course it varies and to find out 
exactly we would have to do a chemical analysis. 

  The silver runs about $3.50 a foot approximately. Our fax number is 
+1-314-487-0394. That should work.

  If you have any more problems faxing you can always e-mail in an order.

  Thanks!
