<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dougie Quick, post: 4611593, member: 113504&quot;]I must be stupid because the way I see it 90% silver is 90% silver therefore the easiest fairest way would be to disregard the denominations and just buy and sell junk 90% silver coins by weight.&nbsp; All one needs to know unless I am crazy is the value of silver per Troy ounce and then weigh it and place the value at 90% of spot today and then perhaps add 5% premium for the convienience of it being in bonafide coin form. The simple reason this is most fair is that many older worn coins have lost a considerable amount of material.&nbsp; Now I can see retailers balking at this because they might much rather focus on the number of dimes quarters halves&nbsp; the &quot;face value&quot; and completely disregard the loss of material due to wear.&nbsp;&nbsp; LOL but to me such&nbsp; just overly complicates things&nbsp; converting back and forth &quot;troy pounds&quot; vs regular pounds ... which are the same thing until you start dividing them up into one type of ounce vs the other or how much each individual coin weighs ....Hey AGAIN 90% silver is 90% silver so personally I love a dealer that wants to simplify and go off total weight ...and yes bringing one&#039;s own scale would be wise if you did not trust a dealer ....but if you keep doing business with someone over and over and trust is developed?&nbsp; You might start to trust...unless you are the ultra paranoid type that suspect everyone of trying to rip off everyone ...What do you fill a gallon can with gas as you pump it and pour each into your tank trying to make certain a gas station is not screwing you?&nbsp; Do you weigh each package you buy from a store and make certain there really is 16oz of cheese or cereal etc?&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you count and weigh everything you buy?&nbsp; My guess is not....most people are honest ....maybe you buy a box of 500 BBs&nbsp; and then count em all? etc etc etc[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
