[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 6393586, member: 102103"]What do you think the weight loss percentage is? I've heard 2% as typical for a moderately worn coin. I supposed you could contact the seller to request a total weight to estimate the loss percentage. When I compare to other bulk US 90% silver on the internet, I see about 24-26x face. So 23x face for standing liberty quarters doesn't sound so bad to me. Of course, it's always wise to do your own research on price comparisons to see what's the best deal you can find. When I used to buy bulk silver (at 3.5 to 4x face!) long ago, only a tiny fraction were standing liberty quarters. The dates might have been barely readable, but in general they would be in comparable conditions to that seller's for wear. It's a matter of personal preference whether you think standing liberties might be worth a small premium to you compared to other bulk US 90% silver.[/QUOTE]
