angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 6:27 pm Well while I know not a coin it is a PM. Does anyone know where to purchase at reasonable prices? I decided to get silver spoons for my grand children due to both value and health reasons. Anyone that can direct me very much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 05/11/2012 11:48 am Funny, but depending on your situation, if you don't want the spoon to be an "investment" I personally wouldn't mind a plated spoon. I would imagine that the silver plate would still provide the health benifits without the cost and risk of the high-dollar spoon getting lost. Does anyone have any information on the health value of silver being used in eating utensils? How about the health value of using silver in our coinage? hehehehe Maybe that's why the younger, modern generation isn't as resiliant? Report this Post to the Staff

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 05/11/2012 12:23 pm I have read about the dollar in a water barrel....but would like to see something a bit more up to date...accounts from 200 years ago doesn't quite do it for me. ;) From what I remember, the Tiffany spoons have a melt value around that dollar mark. But baby spoons in general demand a premium and I think the Tiffany's that I was looking at a few months ago went for $60-90 because of the name. Report this Post to the Staff
Silverhawk74 Pillar of the Community United States 3670 Posts	Posted 05/11/2012 12:28 pm When silver is present, bacteria can no longer produce an within a couple of days all bacteria is dead.... Perhaps this is why silver has so many applications in the medical field.... Edited by Silverhawk74 05/11/2012 12:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 05/11/2012 12:42 pm Yes and actually copper as well but I believe silver is more efficient. I think cOpper pipes at least for water coming in may be better than the plastic being used today Report this Post to the Staff
