I would like to take a stab at getting at this in a language based way 100% is a whole of or decimal 1.00.
99% means that you have 99 parts of one whole so if that whole is silver it is 99 parts silver with one part being of different elements or .99. What if that 1% is partly silver as well. IF that 1 % is 1/2 or 50% could be silver=99.50%. It could be that the 1% of the object is 99% silver as well making it 99% + .99 or 99 parts of the 1% being silver making the whole of 99.99% pure silver. Convert this to decimals it would be .9999. to simply this further it could be 99.99% which would convert to the decimal of .9999 purity no percentage mark would be used with the decimal approach. 99.999 would be approached the same the last number being a part of the previous decimal particle making it .99999 meaning less of the object would be of another element. .999 is for most intents pure enough .9999 would certainly be very pure. Unless the Canadians have another way of determining decimals and percentages.

I personally use Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins witch are .9999, certified by the Royal Canadian Mint. They are always available on ebay auctions at reasonable prices.

IM LOOKING FOR INPUT HERE, I JUST BOUGHT A CS GENERATOR, AND HAVE .999 PER CENT WIRES SO, IM GETTING IMPURITIES?
