<p>[QUOTE="toned_morgan, post: 3329189, member: 97258"]It depends on the amount of wear on the coin. Coins that are very hard to read or have lost all their detail actually lose slight amounts of metal. The wear on a coin is literally the result of people's fingers or hands touching the coin and slowly scraping bits of the metal off. You can take a new shiny quarter and an old faded one and they will literally not weigh the same. Also, quarters from 1964 or before were made of silver, which weighs just a bit more than the new material they started to use in 1965 called clad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
