How heavy is an ounce of silver?

[manlymatt83]

Silver is trading around $22/ounce right now. I was thinking of picking up 10 ounces of silver or so. I know how big the coins are (about the size of dollar coins), but how heavy are they?

Thanks.

An ounce of silver weigh..................one ounce.

(that's Troy ounces btw)

The real question is, which is heavier? An ounce of silver, or an ounce of feathers?

 

[DingDingDao]

An ounce of silver is heavier than an ounce of feathers, but a pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of silver. Not everyone knows this.

I see gag already has this covered...

Troy ounces 12/lb.

Adverpois ounces 16/lb.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

1 troy ounce of silver is about 31 grams, or about 1.1 ounces.

Seriously OP, DID YOU REALLY JUST ASK THAT QUESTION??

 

[Schadenfroh]

Question for you, which weighs more.... a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

 

[DangerAardvark]

An ounce of silver is heavier than an ounce of feathers, but a pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of silver. Not everyone knows this.

But a stone of pounds is heavier than a pound of stones.

I'm pretty sure DangerAardvark post is proof that seppuku will not be necessary...

Judging by his previous threads, he is a dumbass.

No. I meant to say troy ounce, but wrote this post while I was doing other things and left out the troy.

The first post answered my question, but now I look like a dumbass, unlike before.

 

[manlymatt83]

1 troy ounce of silver is about 31 grams, or about 1.1 ounces.

Thank you. This is what I meant to ask. I had done some searching on google, and the answers were inaccurate.

 

[manlymatt83]

good troll op

Or maybe this was my intent No one will ever know...

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

You could have just googled this...
