Will a jewelry store take pure silver nuggets?

Question

Will a jewelry store take pure silver nuggets. Used to work in a factory and made chips with silver in them and got a box of pure silver nuggets from them when moved to different state.

Answer 1

Fine silver nuggets are usually used for casting silver. You better search for "silver casting" or similar strings and look for a casting service in your vicinity. Example: http://www.investacastinc.com  

Another possibility is to approach silversmiths and ask them if they are interested. Common jewelry stores are probably not the right address.

Answer 2

Try any that say they will buy gold.  Current market price is $17 per ounce although a store might pay only half that amount.  If you have a lot, you could send it to a refiner like Hoover & Strong and get a better price.  www.hooverandstrong.com
