[QUOTE="Zzyzzyth, post: 816393, member: 21495"]Is there a "rule of thumb" when it comes to weighing your coins as far as the variance from the known weight? For example, I just bought a BU 32P Washington. When I got it home and weighed it, it was only 6.25 grams instead of 6.33. Surely, there is no reason to try and fake a 32P (or is there?), but would this be cause for concern? My 32-D weighs 6.3 grams. I just assumed that this would be in the variance range, but never really gave it any serious thought before today, other than if it weighed 5.8, or 7.4, or something ridiculous, then I'd be alarmed. So, at what point do flags go up?[/QUOTE]
