<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1096228, member: 27832&quot;]I decided to go ahead and spawn off a new thread where I&#039;ll post photos and high-resolution (10mg or 1mg) weights of coins in various states of wear. For now, I&#039;ll just be posting as I get and/or weigh things; later, I hope to put all this together into some organized format.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tonight&#039;s subjects are 15 SLQ&#039;s that I recently landed on eBay &quot;below spot&quot; -- at the time I bought them, Coinflation was quoting quarters at just about 20x FV, or $75 for 15, and I paid $68 with shipping for these. Nominal weight for 15 quarters as minted is 15 x 6.25 = 93.75g. These, though, range from G04 (there might be one that reaches G06) to PO01 -- pretty sad shape, but pretty typical for bulk circulated SLQ&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the coins (obverse and reverse):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]109543.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]109544.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the weights:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>5.96&nbsp; 6.06&nbsp; 5.97&nbsp; 6.03&nbsp; 5.88</p><p>5.80&nbsp; 5.96&nbsp; 6.00&nbsp; 5.79&nbsp; 5.84</p><p>5.66&nbsp; 5.81&nbsp; 5.75&nbsp; 5.75&nbsp; 5.59</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Total weight: 87.85g. If 15 full-weight quarters contained $75 worth of silver, these would contain $70.28 (ignoring the probably-negligible weight of tarnish and debris they carry). I&#039;m still ahead, but the &quot;wear penalty&quot; on these coins was about 6.3%.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
