History

While silver was possibly discovered as far as 5000 BC, the actual first mining of this metal is generally dated to 3000 BC in Turkey. Usually mixed with other minerals and metals, the miners came up with a refining process known as cupellation. This procedure involved melting the ore at different temperatures in a porous dish known as a cupel. Hot air is then blasted onto the surface, which partially vaporizes the impurities while also absorbing them into the cupels porous structure. In order for the silver to be considered investment grade, it must have a purity of .999 or higher.
