Yes you did well with them You only need 12 oz troy to make 1 troy pound |

Yeah that's what put me onto it..28 grams= 1 oz but then I seen the different weight's on coins in my book and seen them mention troy oz and thought hold on a troy is over a normal oz. This is sort of linked in with the grading of coins as they are different systems and can be a bit confusing like when they bought in metric and even to this day so many builders, plumbers, etc still use both as I do as some things are made in imperial and some metric and some places make their own I think when things don't line up like they should and the mud map makes you  Just need to be aware of these things so ya don't get ripped  I will buy anyone's troy oz for the price of a normal oz..anyone, anyone at all I should get into scrapmetal then I can make my own coins  Looks like the RAM is expanding into yet another field  |

I also use pennyweight (DWT), as some jewelers deal in pennyweight, with 1 troy ounce = 20 pennyweight...
