Buying and melting silver scraps..help!?

Im looking to start collecting and buying silver scraps and jewelry to smelt them down into bars (not for resale, just for me personally as an investment). Ive seen vids on youtube and read articles on the web but i still have some questions.

This is what i know so far:
*I need a silver acid test to determine if the object is real silver and also determine the purity.
*I can also look for stampings such as ".925 sterling silver/halmark, mint or pure .999" on bullions, bars, coins, jewelry and silverware but that can be forged.
*A scale to weigh the silver.
*Molds/casts, butane tank and torch, and other melting supplies to smelt silver.

My questions are:
*If i decide to buy any jewelry or scraps from individuals, how much should i pay them? (i.e. is there a calculation/formula)
*In one video i saw on youtube on smelting silver, a guy added grains of pure silver in the melting silver so that the purity was + .925, how many grains would i need for each 1oz bars? do i really need to add them? and also how can i make my silver bars .999?
*Should i melt and mold my own silver bars, so i can cut cost of bringing them to a refinery?

Any other information would be helpful, thank you!

What is the difference between these 2 coins?

I have 2 coins, same dollar amount, same color.
One is the Gold Liberty Gold Coin with Mother & Child on front. Also on front of that coin is " In God We Trust " but no date is printed on the front, like it normally would. Turn the coin over & it has the Great Law of Peace symbol, under the symbol it says " Haudenosaunee ".
The other one I have is the original Gold Liberty Gold Coin with Mother & Child on front. On the front of that coin is the " In God We Trust " and the date " 2000 ". On the backside is the Eagle & the words " One Dollar ".

I thank you for your time & information.
