The good news is that you only lost -1% of silver. The bad news is that you got a C- on that math test. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25464 Posts	Posted 10/28/2025 09:55 am Quote: I paid for .4997 grams of silver, not .4552 grams. A mint state 1965 Kennedy half dollar contains 4.6 grams of silver (11.5 g X 0.400). If you paid for .4997 g of silver you got a great deal. If you thought that there would be 4.997 g of silver in this coin, you need to work on your math before buying more coins.

Dough101 Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 10/28/2025 10:05 am I think this is what I meant. @ 11.5g= .4997 of silver vs 11.38g= .4552 Report this Post to the Staff
