Most are clipped and lighter weight. It is very common for siliquae to be clipped. One theory about that is that the official weights dropped over time and those that had been issued earlier and were still around had more silver which was extra considering the new lighter official weight, so the old ones were clipped down to the new weights. Of course, that does not rule out people just shaving a bit of silver of the edge and hoping to pass the coin anyway. Any of his silver under 1.8 grams is probably clipped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
