Hello members, yesterday I came across a great website for calculating the Actual Silver Weight (ASW) for all kinds of metals including sterling silver, U.S silver coins & gold coins, scrap silver, Canadian, Mexican, Great Britain, French & Australian silver coins, platinum, palladium and more--the site is:
https://www.silverrecyclers.com/. It is especially helpful for sterling silver as the site has a calculator and all you do is enter the total gross weight of your sterling, then enter the current spot price, and press the calculate tab and it will immediately tell you the actual silver weight in .999 troy ounces as well as the actual .999 silver value in dollars. Check it out and it will save you a lot of time on your calculations!!!! Have a nice weekend, Don
