<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3151020, member: 66"]Coins have weight tolerance ranges. Clad quarters are supposed to weigh 5.67 grams but have a tolerance range of +/- .227 grams. So a clad quarter can weigh anywhere from 5.443 grams to 5.897 grams and still be within tolerance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver quarters also have a tolerance range, but it is tighter. A silver quarter weighs 6.25 grams with a tolerance range of +/- .194 grams (1947 - 1964, before 1947 the tolerance was even tighter) so a silver quarter can weigh from 6.056 grams to 6.444 grams. Notice that there is no overlap in weight ranges for the clad and silver quarters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
