<p>[QUOTE="Argenteus Fossil, post: 2833349, member: 71478"]The Gold Buffalo and Maple Leaf each weigh 1.000 troy ounces and are 99.99 pure gold. The Gold Eagle weighs 1.0909 troy ounces but is only 91.6% pure gold, 3% silver, balance being copper. So it also weighs in at 1.000 ounces of gold, but the "more" I'm referring to is the 0.03 troy ounces of silver (3% of 1.0909).</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not saying this is a differentiating factor, as that .03 ounces is very small. I'm just curious as to if any of you ever realized or thought about this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
