[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2215279, member: 59677"]Missing the point, the given weight is SLIGHTLY higher than a bag of 1000 clad Ikes would weight. The 40% and 90% silver are slightly heavier, so that's the # of 40% (90%) + clad that makes up to the given weight +/- a small factor for wear. However, it's much more likely that the bag and seal weigh enough to make up MORE than the difference. I also assumed a scale capable of weighing 50 pounds was probably avoirdupois not troy.[/QUOTE]
