[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 816957, member: 13650"]The redbook and every other website lists 6.25 grams. If there's generally a 1% allowable variance, than on this quarter that would be +/- 0.0625 grams, obviously. My pocket scale will weigh down to one grain accurately, after the quick calibration, and that's as far as I can trust it. You're probably pushing the accuracy limits of most scales at this point. FWIW, there will be fakes that have accurate, indistinguishable weights and the ones that don't should be fairly obvious. More so than 1% most likely. As someone else stated above, worn examples lose a lot of weight (into the 0.1+ gram range) fairly easily. BU examples should always be very close to spec.[/QUOTE]
