<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 820159, member: 66"]Mint spec for a new silver quarter 1873 - 1947 is 6.25 grams +/- .097 grams. For 1948 to 1964 the weight is the same but the tolerance loosens to +/- .194 grams. For clad coins the specs loosen even more. The CuNi clad are 5.67 grams +/- .227 grams, and the 40% silver clad bicentenials are 5.75 grams +/- .220 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>A complete table of the specs can be found in the Coin World Almanac.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would say no. Most collectors that have scales only have ones that are accurate to one decimal place. A 6.25 gram coin weighed on a scale accurate to one decimal place will typically show 6.3 grams. Rounding you understand. If the coin weighed 6.23 grams it would show 6.2 grams[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
