Love Hidden Worlds?
You love gold & silver. But did you know there are gold-chain wearing gangster cats ruling the west coast? If you like rap, hiphop, cats, and gangsters, this book is for you. Thanks! -Jim

One troy ounce = 31.1035 grams. One gram of .999 silver is 0.0322 troy ounce, and is worth $3.22. One gram of .925 Sterling silver is 0.0297 troy ounce, and is worth $2.97. BTW, I have changed the default buy/sell percentage to 64.96%, as that is what my local exchange is currently paying for JUNK SILVER. (They pay much more for .999 silver, so don't be confused by this.)
