<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3359438, member: 84179&quot;]What was the weight of the coin before it was abraided???</p><p><br /></p><p>Nobody knows. The minting process allows a weight tolerance. Was your quarter heavy, light or nominal when it left the mint?</p><p><br /></p><p>How much material has been removed?</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember the sanding just hit the high points and reeding.&nbsp; Is that 1% of the volume? 0.1%?&nbsp; Less?&nbsp; 0.1% = 0.00567 grams on a quarter of nominal weight.&nbsp; That&#039;s the rounding on your balance.&nbsp; Once again, come up with a plausible idea on how this could have been made at the mint.&nbsp; The more you research it, the more you&#039;ll understand that it can&#039;t occur</p><p><br /></p><p>Does this answer your question in post #20?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
