I think the easiest way to think of it is:

One 40% silver half dollar has 4.6 grams of silver
There are 31.1 grams per oz

Therefore 20 (40% halves) x 4.6 gm divided by 31.1 equals 2.96 troy ounces

Thanks guys!

Let us know when you start to add all those solid silver rolls together to figure out your troy pounds!

Therefore 20 (40% halves) x 4.6 gm divided by 31.1 equals 2.96 troy ounces

..........or for a rough estimate as three 90%ers make an ounce; seven 40%ers also do.

40% are 0.1475 Troy ounces PER
90% are 0.3617 Troy ounces PER (dimes are just 1/5th of this value and quarters are 1/2 of this value)

90% dimes, quarters, halves were all based on .7234 Troy Ounce per $1 face value

for whatever reason morgans and peace dollars were 0.77345 Troy Ounces of Silver per

I've always worked with 0.1479 t oz/40% silver half. Would need to look at Redbook to confirm this though.

 

[Bigheed]

or you could use a calculator and see that 20* .1475 = 2.95 .... $10 face

$1000 face bag of 40%'s is 295 troy oz.

2.95 * 100 = 295 !

Thanks Heed.

And thanks to all, interesting to see all the ways you can calculate it. Reminds me of Calculus when I was in college, always a different way to solve, and always a quicker way to solve.

Here's a trick.

Ahhh thats so cute. And sweet of you to post. Now I can use this when someone asks a retarded question that they couldve googled in 13 seconds.

At this rate I'll be CEO of Google, all this new knowledge Im gaining from Tnet. ASU didnt teach me #$% apparently. Grasshopper has alot to learn.

 

[captainfwiffo]

Well, a lot of people don't know that Google can do math for you, and unit conversion, let alone that they can do both at the same time.

After you look up the sites write yourself a cheat sheet. I wrote mine right on the cover of a "red book".

Also just look at a dimes value to figure out the [Xs] dollar value of the dimes, quarters and 90% halves.
