<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3585466, member: 66&quot;]Doesn&#039;t matter if you can&#039;t find one that weighs more than 12.54 grams, the legal tolerage is +/- .259 grams.&nbsp; After over 100 year of practice trying to&nbsp; keep to the .09 tolerance it isn&#039;t surprising that they managed to keep the weights tighter than the legal tolerance.</p><p><br /></p><p>No the tolerance were relaxed in the 40&#039;s when silver plummeted in price&nbsp; and it wasn&#039;t really needed to keep the tolerances that tight.&nbsp; If it was off a little more the cost didn&#039;t matter and it was easier to keep to the looser standard.&nbsp; I can&#039;t say for sure but it is also possible that around that time they finally stopped weighing every planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
