In general, yes. The average propane torch will be more than adequate to do the job, as long as the block of silver isn't too large or the torch too small. Silver melts at 961.78 °C, or 1763.2 °F, and the propane torch can burn at something close to 1000°C.

A propane torch heats up to about 3600°F glass will generally melt at the mid to high 2000°F. So yes, it should melt it.

How do you torch a cooper pipe in an air conditioning system?

If installing or replacing a copper line on an AC unit you must 'braze' the line with an acetylene and air tank mixture. Use 10 psig on the O2 tank and 5 psig on the acetylene tank. You will need a need a 'neutral' flame. You can not get enough heat by using a propane torch. You will need enough heat to melt the 5% silver solder.
