You do realise that a troy oz weighs more than a normal ounce?

Change settings to grams and it should weigh 311.035 grams plus a few grams extra for packaging etc

Precious metals are weighed in Troy ounces.

1 x Troy ounce = 31.1g

1 x standard ounce = 28g

Try weighing the bars in grams and they should be approx. 311g each.

Thanks

Yes as one has plastic that explains the difference, your bars are fine.

I've had a few of these bars over the years and they look perfectly fine 🙂

Were they previously owned by a shipping magnate?

Advantage of coming from a country where we do not even know what the ounce is, let alone how many grams ☺️
