    Now guys,
    I'm including EVERY kind amount of Silver.
    Bullion, grams, bars, coins, even constitutional, graded, trinkets, silverware...
    After I calculated all my Silver. I would have to estimate my weight as closer to
    "6 LBS". I know I don't have 6, in my options. I voted "5 LBS". Couldn't edit. Lol
    Thank You ALL for participating!
    :)

    Silver is measured in Troy ounces, and a Troy pound has 12 ounces. :#:p

    But how heavy is a Troy ton? :o

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    55+ troy pounds of coin silver, almost all of it suitable for eating a bowl of ice cream or serving up a bowl of punch.

    This got me thinking............An MS 65 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar is worth $775,000.00 but contains just under $19.00 worth of silver.. :p

    Only stackers will find this relevant.. ;)

    A troy pound is .823 of a standard pound. No idea how much silver i have. Most of my collection is silver.

    Wait What?
    I thought it was required that everyone had their weight in silver :D

    On my stash, I have a pretty nice weight, but when you include the ASE and all the classic coins I have a nicer weight. But majority have numismatic value.

    Just the stash I have more than a little but less than a lot.

    My current registry sets:
    20th Century Type Set
    Virtual DANSCO 7070
    Slabbed IHC set - Missing the Anacs Slabbed coins
