<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 43466, member: 2486&quot;]Hey Spider...if you are going to determine the mass of the coin make sure you look up the correct composition of the dated Ike dollar. Turns out that the mass is different on the Copper -nickle and the silver clad...better have a very good scale and block any wind from a source as a ceiling fan, heater, window, whatever can produce air movement to get a accurate measure...turns out that the silver clad version is as follows;</p><p>Source: RedBook silver content of silver clad version is ~ .3161 oz&nbsp; if you look at it in the units that the coins are determined in (its mass) that is most always measured in g (grams)&nbsp; 31.10 g is = 1oz...doing the math, the .3161 oz of silver are equal to ~ [31.10g / 98.5] = 0.3157 or 0.316 oz of silver..therefore 1/98.5 oz of silver is used in the coin...cheap way to make a coin huh?</p><p>Ike Dollar total Mass ~ 24.59 g&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ......&nbsp; 31.10 grams per&nbsp; 1 oz&nbsp;&nbsp; ... so 24.59 g is = to 0.79 oz <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Gee is that little bit silver worth so much? @ 7.00 oz should be about 1/99th of the coins face value. Now I m getting a headache..would someone please check my numbers????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
