Sterling vs. Fine silver
 
The two most common forms of silver are Sterling and Fine Silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure and fine silver is 99.9% pure. One troy ounce of fine silver weighs 480 grains. One troy ounce of sterling (.925) silver also weighs 480 grains, but only contains .925 troy ounces of fine (.999) silver. Conversely, 1.04 oz of sterling silver contains 1 troy oz of pure silver. Frequently, Sterling silver coins or bars are weighted to yield a full ounce of .999 silver - they weigh 1.04 troy oz to make up the difference.
