War Silver
how to calculate silver content in war nickels?
I've got about 35 war nickels I bought from a coin shop to add to my junk silver collection. I know I got a fair price but I am trying to figure out the amount of silver in troy ounces. I know that they're 35% silver and a nickel weighs 5 grams. So would I calculate .05x.35x(number of nickels). I don't want the melt value, just the amount of ounces. Like how a silver dime you multiply .0715x amount. Thank you all;.
There are 31.1034768 grams per troy ounce, so a US silver war nickel contains {(0.35*5)/31.1034768}=0.05626 troy ounces of silver which is currently worth just over $1US per coin.
