Question by Amanda Olivo: How many troy ounces of .999 silver are in one pound of 90% silver us coins?
By one pound I meen 16 normal ounces. I could probably do the math myself but I would likely mess it up.

Best answer:

Answer by MR
(1 lb coins)(90 lb silver / 100 lb coins) = 0.90 lb silver

(0.90 lb silver)(16 oz / lb) = 14.4 oz silver

(14.4 oz silver)(28.349523125 g / oz) = 408.233133 g silver

(408.233133 g silver)(troy oz / 31.1034768 g) = 13.125 troy oz silver

(13.125 troy oz silver)(1000 troy oz of 0.999 silver / 999 troy oz silver) ≈ 13.138 troy oz of .999 silver

Best answer:

Answer by John
The USA stopped putting silver in coins in 1964. There was some silver in half dollars a few years after that. I think up to 1970. Coins 1964 and older are worth 10 to 11 times the face value ( a dime would be worth . to .10). The half dollars 1965to 1970 are worth about . or so each.
