I have been selling silver bars and shots for a while and never had a comment like that. First, they weigh allot more than solder drippings and I have had plenty of satisfied customers. This is high investment grade bullion. Some people buy in shots because they like to melt them down and make there own bars and some like it because they are not paying for a design thats worthless. Investment grade means it is pure bullion and has no impurities. I collect silver in many forms and thid form is one of my favorites to collect.
The shots are various sizes but will wiegh 3 full grams, the same weight as 3x1 gram bars. Some shots are bigger and weigh more so this auction is for 3 grams in weight with various sized shots. Shots are a product of the melting process of larger bullion bars. The picture listed is a 5 gram bag, I did not take a picture of a 3 gram bag but wilo be very similar. I always weigh a littke heavy so it will look very similar to the picture. I hope this helps. Thanks.
Silver in this form is purely for investment. When the price of silver goes up, (and it will), the value of these shots go up the same. It's more safe to invest like this because you are not counting on a design that may be less desired by some, and its pure, not mixed with any alloys.
