loonielewy Pillar of the Community Canada 1765 Posts	Posted 08/20/2025 05:46 am Numista lists weight as 11.85 grams each. So, 47.4 grams. I'd say the 1/4 ounce indicator is wrong.

Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6500 Posts	Posted 08/20/2025 06:49 am Quote: 47.4g or 1.6 OZ of pure silver by the Royal Canadian Mint. Special Note: THE RCM wanted a certain physical size for each coin in the set and as a result they have exceeded the minimum ¼ oz weight designated on the coin. The total weight of all four coins is actually 47.40 grams (approximately 1.6 oz) or 11.85 grams each. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187507 Posts	Posted 08/20/2025 09:34 am Very interesting. If they wanted a specific size and had to adjust the weight, why not just put that on the coin? Is showing "1/4" really that important? Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

Clearly 0.418g wouldn't fit in the design Report this Post to the Staff
loonielewy Pillar of the Community Canada 1765 Posts	Posted 08/20/2025 11:36 am I disagree with it being marked as 1/4, as it's inaccurate. Shady people could take a naïve seller. It would look nicer without any weight mentioned. "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa" In memory of those members who left us too soon...
