Mostly copper. But interestingly enough I ran the number one time and even if it was arsenic or lead 20 ppm CS made from it would meet EPA drinking water standards.

Good question. I suppose it depends on what the other .0001 consists of. Arsenic? Lead? Copper? What?

Personally, for the $small, I will go the extra 9 in stuff I make for myself and friends. $4 for enough silver wire to make 50 gallons of CS? Small price, IMO. But I can't really disagree with you. Just feels better to me to go for the 4 nines.

Ok, I have to ask this question...how much difference does it make between .999 and .9999?. Seems minimal to me. Thanks, Gary Native American style flutes &

I don't really see the rationalization for trying to get cheapest
price for a one time in a lifetime expenditure. Just "Get 'er Done!"
A single coin will yield all you'll ever use.

Canada has produced Silver MAPLE LEAF $5 coins since 1988.  Each
contains 1 troy ounce of pure 99.99% SILVER and has a $5 face value.

Easy to find, and the purest silver coin in the world.
