[QUOTE="JBK, post: 46421, member: 1101"]I thought it read that some COLLECTORS of Amercian Silver Eagels are overweight. Anyway, I first suspected that some coins have a higher rim, but maybe some are also porkier than others. I think that someone had said once that bullion silver rounds are often made to be an extra gram (or is it grain?) heavier than one ounce just to make sure the buiyer gets his full oucne worth. I think the Mint buys silver planchets on the open market, so maybe someone sold them the overweight ones used for many private rounds. In any case, I would be far more concerned if some 2005 SEs were UNDERWEIGHT.[/QUOTE]
