    If I get it can I return it when it turns out to be only 12 troy ounces?

    Or do you think that the private mint was as ignorant as the seller?

    In school you were taught there are 16 ounces in a pound. This is using the avoirdupois scale.

    The game is metals are minted as troy pounds, which contain 12 troy ounces, which is equal to 13.165 avoirdupois ounces.

    So American educated eBay buyers think they're getting 16 ounces of silver, but instead get just a little over 13
