<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 211505, member: 4626&quot;]It depends on if they&#039;re using troy pounds or avoirdupois pounds (avoirdupois pounds are used to measure just about everything other than precious metal).&nbsp; When you&#039;re talking ounces, precious metals are almost always measured in troy.&nbsp; A troy pound is 12 troy ounces, not 16, so half a troy pound would be 6 troy ounces, not 8.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct though if they mean half an avoirdupois pound (which they usually do when they use the word &quot;pound,&quot; even when referring to precious metals; even when someone refers to more than 12 troy ounces, they generally stick to using ounces rather than pounds when they mean troy), that would be about 7.29 troy ounces.&nbsp; If the coins are 90% silver should multiply that by .9 to get how much actual silver you&#039;re getting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
