Silver weights are actual silver weight (ASW) in troy oz for average-circulated coins — heavily worn 90% can run ~1–2% light. "Face × 0.715" is the dealer convention for circulated 90% bags. Spot defaults are placeholders: update them from your silver tracker or kitco before trusting the totals. · jonestes.me
