Troy ounces... (Wikipedia link)

The conversion factor for troy ounces is needed to convert the statistical weight (mass) of coins to the measure most commonly used in the buying and selling of precous metals.

"The troy ounce (ozt) is a unit of imperial measure. In the present day it is most commonly used to gauge the value of precious metals. One troy ounce is equivalent to 31.1034768 grams."

Divide the weight in grams by 31.1034768 to get the equivalent in troy ounces.

I am not a coin expert, and I found many conflicting bits of information on the Internet. I have distilled what I have found down to the statements made above.

Some coins have increased numismatic value due to collectors' interests. You cannot solely value a coin based on its composition, but such a value can be used to set a bottom line.

Please do your own research and confirm the statistical information here prior to setting your final valuation on your own collection.
