@bitcoinman, many thanks! He had asked for Canadian stackers addresses so he could mail them some surprise mini silver pieces, and he delivered, so cool.Three mini silver bars were in the envelope, a 1 gram Canadian flag, a 5 grains bar, and USA dollar style mini 1 gram bullion bar featuring a sea worthy ship. The back of the Chinese made Canadian flag one says .999 fine silver, and has been checked by
Glorious little mini silver bars, my son laid claim to the 5 grains one. Below you can see their size comparison with a standard 1oz fine silver bar. The 1 Troy ounce bar is about twice as thick as the minis, there are 31.1 grams per Troy ounce.
You can see the proud sugar maple leaf Canadian flag displayed on the front.
On the back of the mini bar is the text "1 GRAM .999 FINE SILVER".
The 5 grains mini bar has a weight of 1/3 of a gram on the scale, 0.33 grams.
A grain is an old school Troy weight measurement that weighs exactly 64.79891 milligrams, based on the weight of a single ideal grain seed. Five grains would calculate to .324 grams, technically, this mini bar is a pinch over.
The front and back of this portrait oriented mini bar are the same, with the text "5 Grains".
This is a sweet little seaworthy mini bar with the ship on the front. It has a USA dollar bill style to it, but this mini 1 gram silver bullion bar is far from that.
The front features the seaworthy sailing ship with the text "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" scrolled above it, below it is the text "IN GOD WE TRUST". Along the bottom of the bar is the text "1 ONE GRAM 1", on both sides is the text "ONE", and along the to is the text "SILVER BULLION". The back has a pattern with the repeating text "CMC MINT". So many fine details for such a tiny bar.
Thanks again
