[QUOTE="CoinGal07, post: 301807, member: 8843"]Welcome to my world.. sometimes the question takes me in circles too. Seems to me .925 is more silver than .90 ~ are you saying .925 is less fine?Then that would put .999 at the bottom not the top and we know that's not true. I undertand the difference in grams vs pounds; troy vs al; and .90/.925 vs asw. What I'm trying to understand is how if you take .925 coins in the dealer looks at them, frowns, answers 'well, these are sterling and I'll give you $X per gram' and when I compare that same coin to a .90 coin it's not the same. I've seen .90 coins bought at 8 x face but a .925 coin bought at 5x or 7x... things like that. To me it's like saying 'oh, shoot.. this is only platinum .... sigh..... too bad it's not .90 silver. I know I'm missing something ~ I just can't figure out the 'what'.[/QUOTE]
