Is this a 6oz or 8 oz American Silver Eagle?

OK so i did some math and 1/2 pound is close to 8 troy oz, 8 troy oz is .54xxxxx of a "normal" pound. so I guess I will take it.

now..just weigh yours and figure how many grams it is...


The illustration at the US Mint site shows how to ID a REPLICA, which this is. The replica they show is a 1999. The one you show is a 2002.

I had no idea this could cause so much confusion...
