Anyone have a weight on these? NGC doesn't list a weight or silver percentage, just that they are silver. I know it's roughly the size of a US dime.

Thank you in advance.

I think "the size of a US dime" is an overestimate (I didn't measure any of my examples, but a brief search seems to say 15-16 mm, which is actually half-dime size). They're pretty darned thin though!
As for weight, a brief check of sales where the weight is listed gives a range of 0.46 to 0.59 grams (I probably missed a few values slightly higher or slightly lower); no idea what it's supposed to be "normally", but probably roughly in this range (i.e. something like 0.5-0.6 grams).
I have no idea about the silver content, unfortunately; from what I could find (I've tried to research this question several times earlier), it probably varied a lot, but certainly wasn't much (I recall some mainly-unrelated article that estimated 10%). There's an example at FORVM listed as "silvered billon", which is probably as good a guess as any.

Thanks! I was going off the seller's description honestly. I found it on ebay with 30 seconds to go and bought it.

For the price, I couldn't go wrong. Just skip a couple bags of chips for a day.
