1st Ounce Of Silver?

It does have a high-pitch ring, so I'm concluding silver. Also, I was doing some online research to see which site has the cheapest generics with the lowest shipping. I found that SilverTowne has fairly low priced generics and some of them even have free shipping. So, I might actually just start to get my silver from them. Has anyone had an experience in which they received fake silver or gold from them?

Silvertowne has their own smelter for making their products. Reputable sites like that have way more to lose selling fakes than they do to gain with a larger profit here and there. If you ever happened to get a fake theyd replace for sure.

I happen to have a 1/2oz round from them that has the incuse indian $2.50/5 on the obverse and Wheat cent reverse on the back. Golden state mint seems reputable and I wouldn't worry too much. I remember reading a while back, a few members had weighed a bunch of ASE's and found that the majority were slightly overweight by a few hundredths of a troy ounce. This may be result of the mint not wanting to deal with the consequences that will come with underweight coins. I think it is probably the same reason why your round is slightly overweight.
