How many ounces in a pound of silver?

16

in troy weight...12
in avoirdupois...16(the customary measure of weight in the us)
but the troy ounce isnt equal to the avoirdupois, so dont get your hopes up....a troy pound weighs a little more i believe......the base measure(the grain) is the same in both systems though(apothacary weight too)....any help?

well a oz of silver is about 1/2 that of a ounce of gold so 31.02333

373.24 grams in a troy pound
31.1035 grams per troy ounce
11.9999 ounces per troy pound

16 oz/lb is bakers weight

The same amount as a pound of feathers.

14.583 troy oz. to the grocery store pound (avdp).

7000 grains to the pound...

that's avoirdupois measure....not troy

I know...



I just find it funny as fuck that OPie isn't familiar with Google...

never buy from people on ebay who try to use tricks to screw you out of silver.. people who try to sell you "25 ounces" of 90% silver or whatnot. they're just doing that to try to sucker you.. remember to ask them how many dollars face value is in that silver they are peddling.

troy ounces if they're rounds.. face value if it's 90% coins... don't be fooled!

A pennyweight (dwt) is an unit of mass which is the same as 24 grains, 1/240th of a troy pound, 1/20th of a troy ounce, approximately 0.055 ounces or approximately 1.555 grams.

in UK
28gram = one ounce

28.32gm/oz

once again....avoirdupois measure...troy would be 31ish grams.......anyone know how many scruples?

No...

That would be weed weight...

BTW

24

agreed. it was a rough estimate. Come to think of it though. For so many years i must have been ripped off by 0.32 grams when buying weed. Guess i have to make a visit to Baba once again. He is the local guy. Have known him for over 30 years now. I even remember when he was selling Thai sticks back in 70's. They don't have them now. However the best ones have always always been from Iran. Its not a country that exports weed but when some friends used to bring them it was out of this world.
Any how back to measuring weed...er... i mean disscusing silver and ounces.peace.

453.59 gram to the grocery store pound.

31.103 gram to the troy oz.

453.59/31.103 = 14.5833 t.o. to the grocery store pound.

how many ounces in a pound of gold

There's this cool website you should try, that may answer some of your questions...

imy father left me 20 ponds of silver in coins what would the face value be if i was to sell it right now

LOL

No matter what it weighs.....ya still can't eat silver!

Wrong a "dealer's ounce" is only 25 grams. They keep 3 for "personal".

didn't know I needed a user name

op has mass quantities of silver and wants to know how many pounds he/she has?

That's not how it's sold. It's sold by the oz. If you have to carry it across the room it is 16 oz to the lb.

Silver is sold in troy ounces.

THERE ARE 12 TROY OUNCES IN A POUND. THAT IS TWELVE

SAY IT WITH ME 12 TROY OUNCES IN A POUND TWELVE.

IF YOU BUY A "POUND OF SILVER LIKE THOSE BIG ROUNDS.......THEY WEIGH HOW MUCH????? TWELVE OUNCES 12...12...12...

NOW REMEMBER IF YOU BUY A POUND OF SILVER MULTIPLY SPOT TIMES,,,,,,,TWELVE 12 12 12...

GOT IT

GOOD THREAD DONE
