I made a mistake in how to convert the standard ton for an assay, here is the correct math;
1 ton. = 2000 pounds
1lb. (Avoirdupois) = 7000 troy grains
1 ton = 14,000,000 troy gr.
1 oz. troy = 480 gr.
14,000,0000
________________ = 29,166oz. Troy. Therefore the relationship is 29.166 grams (1 assay ton) to each 1mg. of Gold and Silver = 1 oz. troy per ton Avoir.
480
