I think what he is saying is that once $1000 face 90% silver junk coins are melted, there are approx. 713 pure ounces of silver after the copper has been separated. This would be 713 pure .999 silver after melting and separating the copper from the silver. I.E. a ten dollar roll(40 coins) of 1964 90 % silver quarters weighs 8.0385 ounces (including the 10% copper) after separating the copper from this roll of
90% silver quarters, you are left with 7.225 0unces of pure silver or .999 silver per $10.00 of 90% junk silver. Now you multiply 7.225 ounces of pure silver X 100 (the 100 represents (100) $10.00 rolls of 90% silver quarters which = $1000 face 90%, Again, the 7.225 ounces represents the pure silver of a $10.00 roll of 90% junk silver after the copper has been removed. So, 7.225 ounces pure silver X 100 = 722.5 ounces of pure silver which is the same as 722.5 ounces .999 silver. Then you subtract about 9.5-10 ounces from the 722.5 ounces of pure silver for circulation lost. So from the $1000 face 90% junk silver, you end up with approx. 713 ounces of pure silver sometimes called .999 silver….. Understand? If not I give up…….
