I would have not problem with someone saying 99% for a coin with .993- they would be getting away with nothing because if it is in fact .993, then they are just rounding down to .990. </p><p><br /></p><p>But the US mint specifically says on their website that it is made of 99.9% silver, so why would any other vendor say it is only 99.3%?
