Is it Sterling or silver plate?

Sterling is about 62% silver I believe so that should be enough to kill those guys tho might just wound them long enough to make your getaway. ;)

Need fairly high temps to melt silver or sterling which has a higher mp due to the alloy metals in it I believe. I looked up the mp of silver a while back as I wanted to make some silver rods from a couple of .9999 silver coins for colloidal silver. Need a MapGas torch so never got around to it. Just split a coin in half and hung each piece on silver wire I bought online. Works fine.

when I inherited some, I took it to the Pawn Shop and was surprised at the amount of money they gave me.
Close to $1000. Copper has gotten very expensive now. Today i was chatting with the senior maintenance man at work and he told me to be on the lookout for pennies made 1961or earlier. He found one and got $99 dollars for it. $1 went to the pawn guy. good luck!

How can I melt this down to make bullets to defend myself against werewolves and Jehovah Witnesses?
electric furnace (like a kerr electromelt but a knockoff is cheaper) is the ticket....you can use a torch, but your torch size will limit the amount you can effectively melt at 1 time, and you really need an oxy-fuel torch if you don't want to spend a lot of time waiting for the metal to melt and flow easily.
