I believe I will.
How about 1 troy ounce is equal to 31.1 grams. That does look better. Thanks Pete.

Mike, I saw your first post and thought "My Lord, grams sure are big in Texas!!!!!!!"

What would each slab have to be made of to weigh 31.1 ounces/card? Lead?

You would need a half ton pick-up to take your set to the post office, which you would have to buy to mail it.

Mike is on the right track, gold and other precious metals are weighed in troy ounces.

1 oz = 31.1 grams

gold is at $1339.00 per oz

1 gram = $43.05

Justin you got it right. Almost took 2 pages. One thing i might change is to weigh say 10 raw t206's rather than a single one and then divide by 10 to get the avg weight of a single t206, the scales might not be reading the single card correctly or rounding to the nearest gram since they are so light.

This reminds me of a great quote, it goes something like this.

"If your teenager knows there are 16 ounces in a pound, they are average. If they know there are 28 grams to an ounce, they are a math genius. If they know there are 453 grams to a pound, they are a drug dealer."
