How do I sell .999 Canadian nickels to someone like a steel mill? Don't worry, I'm not selling now and not likely for many years. But I'm just curious if there is a company (perhaps like Nucor or a refiner) that buys .999 nickel for their business? I'm specifically trying to find backup buyers in case it is tough to get a fair price from a dealer when the time comes.
By the way, I live in the U.S. and not near the border.

How Do I Sell .999 Canadian Nickels to...

Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).
Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.

You'd need a LOT to interest a steel mill. I'd think selling as bullion privately or on ebay is your best bet. You might find some small operator that wants it to cast stuff with. Maybe sell to element collectors or someome that makes element samples.

Another potential is smaller shops that do nickel plating.

I'm curious how many pounds you consider to be enough to interest a steel mill...
Thanks to both who replied so promptly.

Probably talking railroad car amounts but I am just guessing. US steel production in 2014 was 88 million metric tons. China produced 10 times that amount.
