Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11573 Registered: Apr 93	posted 03-19-2006 09:32 PM That was everything.... Silver was fairly static - showing a minute loss of 0.7% to a final total of 7,129,489 - just 51,329 fewer articles than were marked in 2000. IP: Logged
feniangirl Posts: 36 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 04-02-2006 05:47 AM Historically speaking, here's another interesting little statistic from The Post.ie "Records show that Dublin silversmith Matthew West assayed over 500 wine cups in a single year, 1787 to 1788." And wine cups are not the only thing he made. Considering the conditions back then I'd say he deserves some recognition! IP: Logged
