<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 301762, member: 4703&quot;]To be precise, an avoirdupois pound (your customary measurement) is equal to 7,000 grains, and a troy pound is only 5,760 grains.&nbsp; But, and it&#039;s a big but, a troy <u>ounce</u> (480 grains) is more than 9% heavier than an av. ounce (437.5 grains).</p><p><br /></p><p>Since 1 troy ounce of Sterling (.925 fine) contains about 3/4 of a gram <u>more</u> silver than 1 troy ounce of coin silver (.900 fine), anyone offering less for the sterling is engaged in a ripoff!&nbsp; At the current silver price of about ~$14, a gram of Sterling is worth around 2-1/4¢ more than a gram of coin silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Converting measurements from troy ounces to grams simply does <u>not</u> change the value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
