<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vercingetorix, post: 234933, member: 3374&quot;]but the coin would still contain one troy ounce of gold (or kilogram, if you&#039;re into hauling around brick-sized coins).&nbsp; the only difference the fineness would make is the weight of the alloyed material also found in the coin.&nbsp; one ounce of gold at .9999 is equivalent to one ounce of gold at .99999.&nbsp; the 4 nines coin just has more alloy.&nbsp; might make a difference if you&#039;re talking about a heavily alloyed coin -- say .5 fineness -- since debased gold might go for a discount, since bullion traders might want relatively pure metals in their holdings.&nbsp; but it&#039;s not as though you&#039;d be *missing* 90 mgs of gold in the instance of the 1 kg coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>V.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
