Casting with pure silver?
Has any one done casting with pure silver? I keep hearing that nobody does because it’s to soft. I have pure silver coins that are pretty darn hard. I’m going to try casting a cup out of silver with a wall thickness same as the coins.
If anyone has cast with pure silver what was your result?

need help with silver casting… ?
its a big project, i have been collecting one ounce coins for a minute or two and im intending to turn them in to a jeweled handle for a dagger, my problems are
will this silver be too pure for this work, maybe too soft i mean.
if its so whee can i buy an alloy of silver since i want it to retain at least 90% purity if sterling wont do
the stones are semiprecious and i don’t have experience setting smooth stones they are not faceted
thank fo your answers
