[QUOTE="stevex6, post: 2006237, member: 44183"][COLOR=#0000ff]anyway ... that wasn't supposed to be the part that made me seem simple ... => the stupid questions about to be asked will be the dead give-away!! a) if my examples don't seem to jive with the proposed weight categories, do I assume that the seller may have made a mistake and therefore merely alter my coin's description depending upon the closest weight category? (NOTE => Doug may have already touched-on this ... the weight categories may have changed slightly throughout time, so perhaps I should merely look for similar examples on-line and determine which denomination is most widely used?) b) also, what is an acceptable variation in weight from the standard? Yah, I realize that chips and wear can reduce the coin's weight, but is there a rule of thumb for acceptable weight discrepancy? ... there, I'll start with those two questions ... Thanks for gazing at my wares and helping me out with a few nagging questions Cheers[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
