<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1012064, member: 19423"]I've weighed out some of my AG Barbers one time and found that the halves were around 5% average underweight and the dimes were around 8% average underweight. Doesn't bother me though as no one I know buys junk silver by weight, they pay based on face value, regardless of wear and with Barbers the wear is expected. Moreover, it's easier to find people to pay more for worn out junk Barbers than for AU junk silver from the 1950s-1960s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
