How much money is a 155.5 carrot silver coin worth?

Answer 1

Four tomatoes, or a rutabaga and an eggplant, LOL! Please, you mean CARAT. A carrot is a vegetable.

In any case a CARAT is normally used to measure gems, not silver. There's a soundalike word, KARAT, that's a measure of purity for gold, but its value only goes up to 24 for 100% pure gold.

A gemstone carat is equivalent to 0.200 gm, so a 155.5 carat silver coin would contain 0.1555 gm of precious metal. That's roughly 1/7 of an ounce, or about $2 worth of silver at current (03/2009) prices.
