58 Lbs.

Yep. I see what went did wrong. Thanks, Engineer. I'm a better writer than a mathematician, that's for sure. I was so far out of practice that I recently bought a college textbook called Understanding Elementary Algebra. I just re-familiarized myself with the acronym, PEDMAS, which I'm sure a lot of you remember from primary school. It's hard to do algebra without at least applying that simple rule. Math is like any other language. If you don't use it you lose it. I took four semesters of college Spanish, two of Italian, and one of Latin, and I swear I barely remember a quarter of it now.

Speaking of being a better writer than a mathematician, I'm the opposite. I did the math correctly in the above example, but wrote it down wrong.

Here's the correct formula: (my above example divided by 31.1 g/oz rather than multiplying)

929 troy oz * 31.1 g/oz = 28,892 g

28.892kg * 2.2 lb/kg = 63.56 lb

To keep things simple, I generally just try to think in grams so I'm not always converting. In terms of US junk silver it makes the math pretty easy since $1.00 face is exactly 25 grams. That makes $100 face 2.5 kilos or 5.5 pounds.

Well then I have around 11 lbs (not including my numismatics of course). I have not bought much in a while since I think silver is too high priced. I expect it will drop, but then I have been thinking that for more then a year now, so I might be wrong.

Yummm, Cornish game hens. Small but very tasty little tidbits.

Hmmm, do I detect a note of sarcasm there? Oh, well. Fact is, if the SHTF, we will ALL be needing some sympathy because it is gonna be a terrible situation for everyone. Yes, it will be worse for some than for others but it will be no picnic for any of us.

That jealousy not sarcasm.

Just took the time to calculate it out. Stupid coins of various countries varying in fineness and being odd weights. Thank you Franklin half dollars for making up a significant chunk of this. My total silver weight comes in at 1 lb 10.84 ounces (troy).

I don't really have all that much silver.

Maybe not in absolute terms but when compared to those ounces per person on Earth figures that get published, you are rolling in it! lol

Besides that, we all started somewhere with silver or gold collecting. The amount that you have just means that you are on the right path with it and just need to keep going with it.
