[QUOTE="imrich, post: 2529726, member: 22331"]I must take exception to your claim which has been disputed repeatedly through actual analysis of circulated rolls of 90%. If you do as I suggest, having done repeatedly, and reported as others on this site. I believe you'll determine that the 715 oz. Silver value in a $1000 Face bag of 90% Silver is believed to be within the mint tolerances for "new" coins. I have weighed bags of Almost Uncirculated dimes finding the coins to be within the believed 99% range of the nominal ~25000 gm/$1000 Face., or 716+ Troy ounces Silver. I believe the PM industry uses 715 Troy ounces Silver as the standard for the Silver content in a bag of 90% "Junk Silver". I sell $100 Face 90% Silver G-VF nominal grade bags to local Craigslist customers. I bring coins specifications, a vernier caliper, beam balance, and electronic scale with Tare weight. Many rolls have been weighed, and customers are generally impressed with consistency of weight. I've not yet had a reject of the product. Do you have a published source for your stated values. I'll share mine for yours, as "the Donald" might say. I believe you may be incorrect, but I'll gladly admit fallibility. JMHO[/QUOTE]
