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

Question by sammy g: does anyone know anything about a 1994 half pound siver eagle coin?
it says it is from the national collectors mint but when i called them they had no info on it and i cant find the paper that came with it, is it a troy half pound or a half pound ? is it real? it says .999 pure silver, thank you

Answer by Taiping
Take it to a coin dealer or jeweler and have it weighed. If the weight is right them it is a great possibility it is real. I am surprised the National Collectors Mint is still around. They sold silver medals like you have at such high costs that the buyers would never recoup their loss for 50 years. Weigh it and if it is on, it is real. There were quite a few large silver pieces made in the 1990's up to and after 2000.

Question by Theodore U: I have a five pound bag of us silver coins from binion estate. can I open this bag?
This is an sealed bag. is it worth more sealed or more by individual coins?

Best answer:

Answer by NY PTK
Good question, but since the bag is sealed...by whom was it sealed...the maker...some random person. I would consider not opening it until you find an expert. Probably not in Yahoo! Answers...best of luck.
