<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FlyingMoose, post: 162038, member: 6572&quot;]I recently purchased an 1878-S trade dollar.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been reading that it should weigh 27.2 grams, but it weighs 26.7.&nbsp; It&#039;s quite worn, but it doesn&#039;t seem like it could have lost half a gram.&nbsp; I checked a Morgan (which is supposed to weigh 26.73) and my scale said 26.7 for that, so the scale seems to be correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it possible for a real trade dollar to be this light?</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s also a slightly raised area at about 9:45 or so (it goes behind the second star down from the leaves), and nothing on the other side (like a chopmark) that could have made it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer I got it from is very reputable, ANA certified, and has been a member since 1959.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t really have a good way to get a picture to post, just wondering if you guys have any ideas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
