<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1974034, member: 37498&quot;]Yeah, I only mention the total weight for use in circumstances where someone buys junk silver online and receives a bag full of highly worn/holed coins that might not weigh up to any silver weight that might have been specified.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also handy to use in confirming just how worn a lot of coins might be.&nbsp; The total weight of decent .90 silver coins should be between 0.794 and 0.804 troy ounces per dollar of face value.&nbsp; The closer they are to 0.804, the less worn they are.&nbsp; Anything less than 0.794, I consider heavily worn and I will negotiate based on weight instead of face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a &quot;roll&quot; of silver dimes that are so worn, they only fill up a coinsafe tube about 3/4 of the way.&nbsp; They weigh in substantially under 0.794 per $1, but I can&#039;t remember for sure their exact weight.&nbsp; I bought them online for under melt (based on face value), knowing they were worn, but I didn&#039;t realize just how worn they are.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if I came out ahead based on silver content on that one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
