<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4872988, member: 19463"]The common practice was to make a specified number of coins from a specified weight of metal. They did not weigh each blank but aimed for the average to work out. Collectors do prefer heavier coins since the larger flans made it easier to include all the design but both would spend and that is what mattered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
