<p>[QUOTE="Tyler, post: 1704745, member: 32319"]Or it is in fact .999 and overweight. The US guarantees it be at least one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. To make sure that is true they add .1-.5 grams to prevent the coin from being underweight. The worst case(or best case to the consumer) is that it is .5 grams overweight. That is less than 1/4th of a dime. It is really very small when you think about it and variations in the planchet may cause this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
