Two silver quarters or a silver 90 percent half will get you over an ounce.

three dimes. .77345 + (.07234 * 3) = .99047 troy oz

The calculation is theoretical. Even if they are MS you would still have the mint tolerance ranges to deal with. You would have to pick and chose among a group of coins weighing each one and trying various combinations to find the dollar and three dime that would give you the closest weight to one troy oz.
If you just take MS coins at random your weight could range from as high as .77626 + .22544 = .99889 toz
or as low as .77064 + .2086 = .97924 toz

Take a picture of both sides of a Morgan dollar, edit the size of the image to 40.6mm and then paste the two pictures on both sides of an ASE and you'll have a one ounce Morgan dollar. LOL! Ed ANA LM-3175 |

The three dimes gets you closer to one oz than any other combinations

IF you really wanted to obtain one troy ounce of Silver exactly with coins, the best and most accurate method would be to melt a pile of Silver coins. Find out how to separate all the impurities, pour out exactly one troy ounce on a scale and POOF, you have that one ounce. Maybe.

4 War Nickels will add .2251toz to put you .0014toz short of a full Troy ounce. Closest I can get to one toz. |
