[QUOTE="SilverLoot, post: 1369048, member: 35969"]Was sitting around today, daydreaming about silver and I stumbled upon an interesting fact: -A monster box (500- 1 Troy oz. Coins) of Canadian Maple Leafs has 9.33 grams more silver than a monster box of American Silver Eagles due to the slightly higher purity of the 1oz Maple Leaf coins. (31.1 x 0.9999) - (31.1 x 0.9993) = Extra silver weight in grams per 1 oz coin (31.09689) - (31.07823) = 0.01866 grams (difference in silver weight) 0.01866 x 500 = 9.33 grams or 0.3 troy oz If spot = $34.00 then each Canadian box has an extra $10.20 of silver! (34.00 x 0.3) Seeing as you can buy a monster box of Maple Leafs for about $300 cheaper than a box of Eagles, I'm surprised more people aren't going the Maple Leaf route. Plus you get a bonus of 1/3 oz! You wouldn't think that small difference in purity would make any difference, but when you start getting into larger volumes....[/QUOTE]
