[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3361479, member: 112"]What you're saying figures for Walkers as they would not otherwise be put into a bag and sold for melt. Bottom line, what you're reporting confirms everything I've always said in threads like this. And I'm not the least surprised because over a great many years I've never found it to be otherwise. That said, I get it, I understand why people find it hard to believe that as a general rule coins do not lose enough weight from wear to make them out spec. When I first started experimenting and researching on this topic - I didn't believe it either ! It's intuitive that wear would equal loss of weight. That's the very thing that caused me to start researching ! And in truth wear does equal a loss of weight, but the amount of weight that is lost is so insignificant, until you get down to grades of G and lower, that it does not put the coin out of spec.[/QUOTE]
