<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 5346634, member: 112&quot;]Your numbers are off a bit. Based on the stipulated tolerance the coins could have weighed as little as 12.403 when they left the mint brand new. So they would only be 0.373 light - assuming your scale is accurate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Typically, coins lose very little weight due to wear, and will stay within mint tolerance weight, until they wear down to the VG stage or lower. Some coins even stay within mint tolerance well into the G range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just as an example for you, what would you grade this coin ?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1226467[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226468[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, would it surprise you to learn that even with all that wear that coin only lost 0.003 gm in weight from what it weighed the day I bought it ? And yes, I weighed it the day I bought it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
