<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1538214, member: 24633"]How do you figure that? Every silver dollar struck since 1840 (excluding Trade Dollars) contains .77344 oz. of pure silver. This is "zero" wear! Besides, coins don't lose as much weight in the lower circulated grades as some may think. I just weighed my 1893-CC which is an F12, and my scale which only weighs to the nearest 1/10th oz. shows that it is .77 oz. This means that it may actually weigh .765xx-.77344. This grade for most common silver dollars would be considered "junk silver".</p><p><br /></p><p>Please explain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
