<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 100922, member: 3011&quot;]I have to admit I don&#039;t weigh coins [but maybe I should].&nbsp; I believe silver coins have 723.38 ounces of silver per $1,000 face value by design, but seem to sell on the basis of 710 to 715 ounces when sold as junk silver.&nbsp; So that&#039;s 1 or 2 percent lost through wear, which is less than a gram, as you pointed out.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if gold coins lose more since the metal is pretty soft.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
