Dear James, Whilst searching the internet I came across this information which is interesting:
"Just this past week, it was revealed that Handy & Harman, the largest silver refiner in the world, declared Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, and had virtually ceased shipments on March 15. Handy & Harman was a most respected name in the precious metals world. I would imagine, that if you had physical silver on deposit with them, you now have a problem. (Also, if you are a silver user who relied on Handy & Harman as your supplier, you also have a problem. See my article for silver users). Let me ask you a question - if one of the most respected names in the precious metals world, Handy & Harman, can announce out of the blue, that it is bankrupt and cannot honor its obligations - who can be trusted? If the largest silver refiner can't meet its silver obligations, do you think a bank or insurance company can?" Ted Butler April 4, 2000 [email protected] OK so how are they going now?

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
