<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 136960, member: 112"]Don't know that I would completely agree with that gx. Even going back to the 1300's and before, the weight of a gold or silver coin was highly regulated to very close tolerances as was the fineness of the metal. The penalty for debasing the fineness or producing underweight coins was death, so they tended to take it rather seriously. And I have found the weight of older coins, even 700 - 800 years old, to be quite consistent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
