    Can anybody tell me why 2 different sized coins can both be 1 oz?

    These coins are both same thickness but different diameters, both 1 oz.. Can silver coins have different density?

    The rim thickness might be the same, but the design relief means the average thickness can vary.

    Dont wander out of your crease.

    But seriously, i have a 10oz soap bar that looks like the same as a 5oz, its decievingly big.

    I find the digital scales ease my mind if im concerned.

    Very interesting how many different forms a 1oz bullion item can take.

    No, I believe if you are quick, you can still get in before the bubble bursts ;)
