<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3589041, member: 66&quot;]Well the Almanac indicated that the change was made in 1947.&nbsp; So I went to the Law Library of Congress <a href="https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/" rel="nofollow">https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/</a> found the listing that would cover 1947 which was the 80th Congress.&nbsp; Opened that up which gave me the Chapter headings.&nbsp; Hit Ctrl-F for Find, and searched for coin.&nbsp; That took me fairly quickly to Chapter 104 <b>An Act To amend sections 3533 and 3536 of the Revised Statutes with respect to deviations in standard of ingots and weight of silver coins.</b> Opened the chapter and scrolled down to Chapter 104.&nbsp; Took me longer to find the Law Library website than anything else. (I&#039;ve bookmarked it now.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Who ever said they were common?&nbsp; (coins over 12.69 grams) We said that weight was within tolerance and therefore nothing special.&nbsp; In other words a &quot;normal&quot; coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So sell it to them, a fool and his money are soon parted.&nbsp; So part it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
