<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 3623107, member: 58633&quot;]There are two different ounces.</p><p>&nbsp;An AVDP ounce, of 28.3 grams, as you stated.</p><p>&nbsp;Then, the Troy oz, which is about 10% bigger at 31.2 grams.</p><p>&nbsp;Old US silver was avoirdupois ounces of 28.3 grams and 90% silver. Silver was a dollar an oz, and the mint made 10 cents on each.</p><p>&nbsp;I dont know where the Troy oz came from and why its used now. But the ASE is worth much more than a buck, and the mint makes much more than 10 cents each.</p><p>&nbsp;Since it doesnt circulate, it doesnt matter[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
