    Correct weight is 420 grains, just like it says on the coin.

    They were very careful with Trade dollars. They did not use the same tolerance levels, usually 1%, that they did with normal coins.

    420 grains is 27.21564 grams or 0.7874 ounces or 17.502 pennyweights
    (Just in case you don't have a grain scale ...)

    Is that what that thing is used for? No wonder it was taking me so long to feed the cows.
