Anyone know how much silver in this?

Can't find anything about this. Anyone know anything about it or how much silver is in it? Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the Silver Mint Ltd though... http://california.14thstory.com/the-silver-mint-ltd.html

More info, similar info.

 

Thanks. That is more than I have been able to find out. Done numerous searches on Google and Bing and haven't found out much. Suppose to be pure .999 silver and judging by other silver bars like this one I am guessing about 4 ounces of .999 silver?

 

Rough calculations give about 3.4 troy ounces per mm of thickness.

Thanks for the info Jim.

 

Interesting the COA doesn't give the weight. However mathematically computing from what they did provide, this proof looks to be ~(2.59" x 6.10"). No thickness is specified. If you assume the same thickness as a ASE of 0.12", then you have an object that has a volume of ~1.9 cubic inches. (lots of rounding) This is 31.13 cc. Density of pure silver is 10.49g per cc. So given these assumptions this is 327 grams or 10.5 troy ounces of silver.

(not the most efficient way to calculate this, but I wanted to eliminate error)

So most likely, it's close to 10 ounces assuming I didn't make a math mistake and just a little thinner than a ASE. Of course it could be a whole lot thinner but this will give you an idea of its geometry.

Now the question of the say is if "struck" in .999 silver means that it is actually .999 silver, or an amalgamation of silver and something else. If the actual weight of silver is not stamped on the proof, I'd probably be afraid of it.

 

Thanks for running the numbers. Hard to tell if it is as thick as an ASE. I have another silver bar based on a $10 Bison Bill and it weighs about 4.5 ounces and does say .999 silver on it. Strange I can't find anything at all on the internet on this thing.
