<p>[QUOTE="DMPL_dingo, post: 2426285, member: 75000"]I haven’t seen the video, but that fact alone would raise some serious red flags. Typically, the acceptable range is +/- .10 grams for a genuine Morgan. If the weight is off, it’s almost always off within <i>the lower bounds </i>(26.63 -.73 g) due to wear from circulation. It’s typical (and intuitively makes sense) that a cull/AG Morgan weighs slightly less than it did when first struck. Though I don’t weigh each raw Morgan that I encounter, the ones I have never exceeded 26.73 (+/- .02) grams.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
