That should work but remember they just passed a new federal law that makes it illegal to melt down coins. Monty

The melting point of silver is 1760 degree F.....Gold is roughly 200 degrees higher.....Your kiln should work. Just remember that I am talking about PURE metals. If you have 14 k gold then you still have ten parts out of 24 that need to be removed. That can get tricky.
