I mainly ask because I bought some random world silver coins at a coin shop recently and he was selling them for $20/oz. I assumed he was weighing the silver content of the coins I chose (fineness varied - .50, .625, .835), but I guess he was actually just measuring the full weight of the group. But he did give me a $10 discount (I paid $15), because he was Polish and I have alot of Polish-American ancestry in my and my wife's immediate extended family. I like you guesstimate method, afantiques. I'll likely just do that from now on and/or search for overlooked silver coins in common world junk bins.[/QUOTE]
