+/- 1.5 grain, according to the Director of the Mint. ;) Thus, 0.097g. Whatever the tolerance was for piastres, it seems unlikely that it would...
Interesting! Given a weight tolerance of .097g for US silver dollars, their maximum weight should be 26.827g. Do you have any information on the...
The square tubes do run higher -- currently 37 cents for small sizes, 50 cents for large dollar and ASE sizes. If you can get them locally for 50...
