Hi. I'm spanking new to all this coin and precious metals stuff..

I seem to remember from my high school days, that an ounce was equal to 28 grams. (Don't ask why I knew that, I just did! and besides, it was almost 30 years ago!)
But when I'm looking at the spot price of silver and gold, and I have a coin that is 56.56 grams, can I just divide the spot by 28 and multiply by 56.56 to get a bullion value? Also, if Sterling Silver is 92.5% do I have to multiply my final result by that?

Thanks.

Silver and other Bullion metals are measured in Troy Ounces. 12 Troy Ounces = 1 Troy Pound. 1 Troy Ounce = 31.1034768 grams

Kinda weird at first to get used to. I have formulas all typed up but here's a good link I think that lists most of them

Yes, bullion is measured in troy ounces, about 31.1 grams. And yes, if your coin is sterling, you have to multiply the total weight by 92.5% to get the silver weight.
