Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 4:56 pm The cap on this coin seems unusually strong compared to other strikes I've seen. Weighs 26.9 grams. Is 0.1 gram a normal variation from the 27 grams it's listed as? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 8:07 pm 26.9 is normal from 27, but this says 20. Are they only 74% pure? Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 10:17 pm 1838 GoPJ coins are always sharply struck. The "10Ds 20Gs" stands for 10 dineros 20 gramos. In the fineness system, pure silver is 12 dineros and there are 24 gramos in a dinero.(10 20/24)/24=.9027 so the fineness is .9027, slightly over 90% pure silver. Nice coin and it's a keeper!
