    Hi All,

    Just wanted to know if a state quarter weighs 5.67 grams or if they vary from 5.10 to 7.5 grams.
    The reason I ask is because I found almost half of roll of New Jersey quarters weighs between 5.10 - 5. 56 grams. Not sure if this is normal. I'll appreciate any thoughts.

    5.1 is 10% light. That's quite a bit. By comparison, a VG Morgan dollar has lost only 3% of its weight to wear.
