<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1514827, member: 26302&quot;]I agree it would microscopically add to weight, but at the same time microscopically take away from recoverable silver. Either would be so tiny as to not be a factor. Put it this way, lightly circulated or BU but banged around so that the little tabs on the reeding started breaking off would be a much higher factor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Theoretically OP you are correct, but the difference would be so tiny as to not be measurable by any buyer or sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: One thing I would clarify. We say &quot;toned&quot; and generally mean light tarnish that can be attractive. If instead you are meaning what we generally say is &quot;corrosion&quot;, then yes, the weight difference can be measurable. A severely black, corroded coin will have easily measurable difference in weight. Too much weight with the corrosion on it, and up to 5% or a little more loss of weight after the corrosion is removed in my experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
