Could they be made the same way coins are, by stamping them?

  Yes, but then the metal would be work hardened. Ideally, if it were to act as a bullet and deform to the shape of your rifling you'd want the silver to be in an annealed state.

  For bullets, you'd probably want to swage them, but I've never worked with silver so I'm not sure how troublesome that would be. The OP actually mentions this in part 5, though not by name (it's under the section "elastic modulus"). They want specifically to cast instead of swage and while I think swaging is technically superior, it's understandable because you have to be a confident enough machinist to make dies and other swaging paraphernalia vs just a bullet mold and what's more likely to be available in a werewolf novel, really?
