<p>[QUOTE="fatima, post: 1169266, member: 22143"]Interesting the COA doesn't give the weight. However mathematically computing from what they did provide, this proof looks to be ~(2.59" x 6.10"). No thickness is specified. If you assume the same thickness as a ASE of 0.12", then you have an object that has a volume of ~1.9 cubic inches. (lots of rounding) This is 31.13 cc. Density of pure silver is 10.49g per cc. So given these assumptions this is 327 grams or 10.5 troy ounces of silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>(not the most efficient way to calculate this, but I wanted to eliminate error)</p><p><br /></p><p><u>So most likely, it's close to 10 ounces</u> assuming I didn't make a math mistake and just a little thinner than a ASE.
