<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 4945092, member: 19250&quot;]Well one needs to remember that there was a time coins were cut to make change....that said silver and gold coins were only worth their weight.&nbsp; My dad would say most had a silk purse for gold coins as a $5 indian may only weight $4.50 and thats what the bank give you. Same on silver coins they weighted them to make sure their face value and weight were equal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
