Definitely a fancy font. But I'd say that it is just worth 3.125 pounds of silver.

 

You might contact them , or maybe it's on their site . Nice bar you have there .

A common mistake, a troy pound is 12 troy ounces.

 

4.167 troy pounds of silver.

 

Chip so is an ASE one troy ounce or one regular ounce . I sure wish they'd pick one or the other .

3.125 pounds = 4.167 troy pounds. @rzage bullion is weighed in troy ounces

 

I was hoping a coin dealer would jump in correctly,but.

3.125 Pounds sterling? pounds is also a currency amount

problem must convert to grams the common denominator between the measurements.

3.125 lbs Avoirdupois = 1417. grams= 45.55 troy oz./12 tr.oz/tr lb = 3.79 tr. lbs

50 troy oz would be 4.166 troy pound as stated.

 

So an ASE is one troy oz . Thanks .

 

Now I'm confused , do you have an extra seat in that class you teach ?

Why those odd numbers 31.1g vs 28.3g? Why? Can't we simply agree it's about 30g?

 

The troy ounce has been used for precious medals for centuries, whereas the AVDP ounce has been used for most everything else for centuries. If you want, you can just stick to grams, or DWT, in the case of gold (1.6g/per).

 

Even here in Europe, where we do not use those old units in everyday life, the ounce (at 31.1something grams) is common for bullion coins. "30g" just does not have that "precious" sound.

Here is a similar silver bar (100 oz): http://www.apmex.com/product/79235/100-oz-american-republic-silver-co-999-fine Note that, according to the seller, that company (Republic Silver) does not exist any more ...

Actually , not this Fall. But they won't let me order precious metals as an expendable supply so it is all Av./grams. They seem not to trust me with PM. Since I am so close to the border, most grocery stores use avoir. pounds and ounces and kg, grams on the signs. Cans and bottles have both. Gasoline is still dispensed as Gal. as the sealer of weights and measures use it.

 

Whoa , I think I've got it . lol

 

The easiest way to keep from getting confused is get a scale that weighs in ozt and weigh all of your gold and silver in that scale. No conversion necessary.

Total weight times the fineness = actual gold/silver content. Total gold/silver content X spot = melt value.

Postal scales will not work for weighing gold and silver by the ounce or pound they must be used in grams only to be accurate. Grams divided by 31.1 = troy ounces. Total troy ounces divided by 12 = troy pounds.

 

Can anyone give me information about this bar? It's 100 ozt old pour with Republic Silver Company in script, much like the 50 ozt in this thread.

 

I cannot see the image.
