About Silver Price Value Calculator

Fineness is parts per thousand, so sterling at 925 is 92.5% silver, and the melt value is that pure weight times the spot price per gram. Silver is quoted per troy ounce of 31.1035 grams rather than per gram, which is why converting units carefully matters when checking a dealer's price.
