Pytellc Valued Member 469 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 3:36 pm Thank you. How much in grams would that be? I don't have a scale, obviously I could do the math but I don't know how much these coins weigh, or even what they are. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 6:25 pm They are all British .500 fine, total ASW 0.58 ounce, @ $15.40 = $9.00. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY bad. I counted the theepences as sixpences, my mistake. 11.985 grammes = 0.385 troy ounce, @ $15.40 = $5.93, perhaps closer to $5.80, with wear.

Pytellc Valued Member 469 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 6:47 pm My math is showing me a total of 11.905 grams, or about $6. Then again, math was never my forte. Report this Post to the Staff
Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 7:21 pm Quote: How much in grams would that be? Take whatever the correct number is (not enough time to do math right now) and subtract a little bit for wear. Those coins don't weigh as much as they did when they were first minted.
