SpreadSheet Calculator

[Harold_V]

I bought earlier this year a FUZION FV-650, @ a mining store in CA. & it weighs in grains, dwt, grams & ounces. Not bad for $85.00.

You did well, Phil. In all my refining years, I never dealt with grams, nor would I if I was refining today. Regardless of what anyone says, precious metals are sold by the troy ounce, which reflects directly on grains and dwt's. It's a good system that needs no change. Easy to understand and easy to calculate in one's mind.

The old guy I knew with the coin shop only used dwt.
I think its because he paid the gram price,and he got an
ounce of gold with every twenty times that gram price.
Instead of an ounce of gold for every 31.1 times that price.
And most customers didn't have a clue what a pennyweight
referred to.They probably thought it was the same as a gram.

Like Harold said,it is very easy to figure in your head.
I prefer to deal in dwt,but it seems like most people
use grams.And then the conversion makes it all the
more difficult.

Thanks Harold!

Same here Jim. I started with dwt in '86, my mom worked buying & selling
gold jewellry back in the 60's thru 80's & it was all in grams in Puerto Rico; it was so confusing to me. Since a bought the scale it all makes sence to me now, so either way it's OK. I like dwt better, since I've gone back to prospecting placer for a while & that's what they use in that circle. We'll see how my body cooperates, though. :roll:

Can someone help me find the Chemistry Handbook, that are free for downloading?

Hi,


This spreadsheet calculator works backward from your first frost date to determine the date to start seeds for crops that will mature as it .

Back again loser?
Bye again.

Yep--he's gone, once again.

I just made this nice spreadsheet calculator.
It's very useful if you're buying gold...
This sheet is based on Precious metals excel document he sent me a while ago.
What do you guys think ?

Here you go.

There was something funky about Noxx's price per Dwt calculation, so I fixed it.

First off let to let you know I love this spread sheet and use it to check for a good price to offer on gold jewelry on auctions and classifieds but when out there and I run into a deal in the thrift stores I have to go to a web site online - not as practical.
So I use this app for my iphone to check Karat value.

Is there any app builders out there that could put Noxx's spread sheet into an app and sell it on itunes ( or other platforms) to raise money for GRF?

Just uploaded a more refined version that I use. You need Excel, as I don't know how to convert it to html.

Thanks,
That post still has this on it;
"Last edited by Noxx on Fri Jan 18, 2008 3:51 pm, edited 1 time in total."

So I didn't expect it to have anything changed. I forgot that Noxx has special powers.

[FrugalRefiner]

In this case, I don't think it's special powers. If he just updated the attachment, I don't believe the software shows the post as having been edited. I could be wrong about this, but I've seen cases where people have changed attachments before and there is no indication the post has been edited. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

A couple of years ago I sold gold to a place called Midstates in Ill. They had a page called a karet calculator that looked almost like this. I lost their link in a computer crash and can not find it again.

They had it set up with their fees built in so all you did was to enter your amounts in dwt. and at the bottom of the page came up a total of what your check should be.

Mike

Go to www.hitechpmr.com as they have a Metals Calculator that breaks down by oz.t, grams or dwt......

Ya, it's because here, and all around the world, we use the metric system. And there is no period in numbers.
For example:
123.456 grams for you would be:
123,456 grams for us

Not ALL around the world.
Here in Australia, we are fully metric, but we use "full stops" (periods) for decimal points, not commas.
I believe that use of commas is a European thing, NOT a metric thing.

Also, we use the date format: DD/MM/YY.
We do things the most sensible way. 8)
