Where the Loth was 14.40 g., the Quentchen ~1.6g., the Berlin Chemist's retail price for Chlor-Platinate had fallen -17.53%


1862: 1 Ounce Troy Chlor-Gold (Photo. Chemical, Retail) = Thlr. 25.9196
1862: 1 Ozt. Chlor-Platin (Photo. Chemical, Ret.) = Thlr. 9.72 

1867: 1 Ozt. Troy Chlor-Gold (Photo. Chemical, Ret.) = Thlr. 23.38
1867: 1 Ozt. Chlor-Platin (Photo. Chemical, Ret.) = Thlr. 8.02 
1867: 1 Ozt. Chlor-Palladium (Photo. Chemical, Ret.) = Thlr. 8.02

Where the 1867 Paris-delivery Poud-rate (16.38 Kg) wholesale price for Ural-refined Platinum ingot was 189.25 руб /Kg., (Fl 235.77; Thlr. 176.87)  

1867: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (Paris: SPb Refined, Bulk) = Fl. 7.33 (Thlr. 5.50)   
1867: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (UK: Scrap, Retail) ~ £ 1.00 (USD$ 6.88)  
1867: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (USA: Trade: Plate) = $ 6. (USD$ 8.29) 
1867: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (France: Mfg, Ret.) = Fl. 22.30

Assuming the weight of the Meter in Platinum to be ~2.5 Kg, the total weight of Platinum manufactured should not have greatly exceeded ~112.53 Ozt.  Manufacture was estimated to be 25% of the Price.  The standards should have weighed 5.43 Kgs?


1866: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (Sheet & Wire) = Fl 14.31 (Thlr. 8.18)

1867: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (Bavaria: Mfg) ~ Fl. 26.66 (Thlr. 15.23)  
1867: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (Bavaria: Refined, Bulk) ~ Fl. 22.22  (Thlr. 12.70)

1869: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (Wire & Foil: Semi-Mfg, Ret.) ~ Fl. 16.33 (Thlr. 9.33)
1869: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (Basic Mfg, Ret.) ~ Fl. 17.24 (Thlr. 9.85)

  

Er bat daher Steinheil, ihm seine Preisvorstellungen zu nennen. Zugleich wie es aber darauf hin, dass der Landtag voraussichtlich für die herstellung je einer genauen kopie des meters und des kilogramms aus platin nicht höher als gefahr 3,000 Fl. ansetzen werde, wobei der Metallewerth des Platin auf circa 2,500 Fl. zu veranschlagen.

He therefore asked Steinheil to give him his asking price.  At the same time as but point out that the parliament is expected for manufacturing each an exact copy of the meters and kilogram of Platinum will begin, to be not excessively higher than Fl. 3,000, with the value of the Platinum metals to be approximately estimated Fl. 2,500.

1867: 
1 Troy Ounce Platinum (bulk, whols.) = Fl. 77.76 (Fr. 164.08)
