<p>[QUOTE=&quot;juris klavins, post: 4285442, member: 76693&quot;]Agreed - the standard ounce / pound offers on eBay and elsewhere just confuse the issue - silver is measured in troy ounces (31.1 grams).</p><p>$1 of face value (ten dimes, four quarters or two halves) weigh ~ 25 grams, 90% of which is actual silver (~22.5 grams) - those $1 face value of circulated coins contain a bit less than .72 troy ounces of silver.</p><p>Using $14.50 spot price. .72 x $14.50 = $10.44, the actual value per $1 of face value - a 5% premium plus another 6% sales tax will increase your cost to approx. $11.58 per every ten dimes, four quarters or two halves. Use the $11.58* as a baseline for the current market ( the premium is about 2-3% in &#039;normal times&#039;).</p><p>A quarter pound of 90% silver coins contains about 3.6 troy ounces of silver, so the baseline for buying that offer should be around $41.70*. - anything more is a serious ripoff - beware!</p><p>*I&#039;m including 5% premium and 6% tax, but not shipping - that is extra and should be factored in accordingly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Avoid the offers like this - they&#039;re overpriced and this one also includes a large quantity of 35% silver war nickels:</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6"><b>DISCOUNTED PRICING!!!
