JHCB Resumes Purchase of Silver Scrap Staring June 1st

Because we have a monthly processing limit, silver scrap purchases will be capped until our available capacity is reached.

Purchasing Limits – For first week of June each customers can sell JHCB a maximum of 300 gross troy oz.

• This limit is intended to give as many customers as possible an opportunity to move material.
• If additional capacity remains, we may extend the 300 gross troy oz. weekly limit for the week of June 8th.
• If capacity remains the week of June 15th we may remove the cap and continue purchasing until our monthly limit is reached.
• Once our monthly limit is reached, silver scrap purchasing will pause until July 1.
