<p>[QUOTE="1970 Silver Art, post: 642742, member: 18828"]There are some 1-oz '70's silver art bars that were slightly underweight when I used my digital scale to weigh them. The variance in the weight ranged from 0.1 gram to 0.5 grams. I noticed that a few of the 1-oz '70's silver art bars that I have were off by 0.1 gram to 0.5 grams on my scale. I think that a variance of +/- 0.5 grams on a 1 troy oz silver bar that old is the norm. All of the '70's art bars that I have are .999 silver. I noticed that some of the Madison Mint bars that I have were slightly underweight but all of them passed the silver ring test.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Edit</b>: In addition, The 1-oz Madison mint silver art bars that were underweight were within the 7% weight tolerance that orpheus72 mentioned in post #45 when I set my digital scale to weigh in troy oz's.
