Bullion coins marked .999 pure or better will work, too. Perhaps the person you were talking to was thinking of common coinage from back when they still used silver in it, similar to US dimes, quarters, halves and dollars before 1964 which were never more than 70 or 80% pure. They used such alloys for circulating coinage because they wear better. Bullion metal, whether ingots or coins, is as pure as it is marked. Be well, Mike D.
