<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pjstack, post: 1066422, member: 15872&quot;]I have a $1 Australian Kookaburra silver coin.&nbsp; It says, &quot;1 oz.&quot; right on it, BUT the <i>Standard Catalog of World Coins</i> by Krause &amp; Mishler (2004 edition) shows the A.S.W. (actual silver weight) as 1.0268 troy ounces.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Did the Australian mint make a mistake?&nbsp; Or, did the mint just throw a little extra silver in the planchets just for fun?&nbsp; Or, are Krause &amp; Mishler (gasp!) wrong?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does anyone know the story on this?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At today&#039;s price (~$30) we&#039;re only looking at 80 cents difference, but still, it seems odd that there&#039;s a difference at all!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does anyone know the e-mail address of the Australian mint?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
