American Eagle silver coin weight

I have several of the American Eagle 1 oz. silver coins. This is the
one with standing liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse.
On the reverse is says "1 oz. fine silver." No where on these coins does
it say troy ounce or .999. Are these coins 1 troy ounce or 1 ounce
silver coins? I think there are 12 troy ounces in a troy pound and 16
ounces in a standard pound, but I am not sure. Can anybody clear this
up for me? I see other silver coins that say 1 troy ounce and .999.

The Red Book says on Page 341 under $1 SILVER EAGLES: "Composition .
9993 silver, .0007 copper (net weight 1 oz. pure silver); weight
31.101 grams'.

That last bit about weight is what tells you that you are dealing with
troy weights:

FYI: The less prestigeous non professional, ordinary print, 2006
edition of the Red Book says the same on p.326.
The 2010 blue book seems to omit that detail.

You know, I have the most recent (I believe it is the inagural) Red
Book professional edition!!!

I bought a copy because I feel it won't be successful and that it
might become rather collectible.

You can read??? You just seem to grunt - short imprecise incoherent
disjointed grunts.

Of course, they say the same thing about me!!!

Silver and gold are always in troy ounces, and "fine" silver is .999
or better.
