<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1012328, member: 112&quot;]OK, for those that disagree with my comments, here is an example. This coin I would grade no better than VF20. But yet when I weighed it, at the time this picture was taken, it had lost a whopping 3 one thousandths of a gram - 0.003gm from its original weight. And this is a coin made of our softest coinage metal. Arguably the one that should stand to lose the most weight from wear if indeed coins do lose weight from wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>How do you explain that if what I say is not true ?</p><p><br /></p><p>And, over the years, I have weighed more than few coins that were in G condition that were within 1% of mint tolerance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now could there be exceptions to this ? Of course. But the general rule stands true. I also agree that there is a point in condition where this rule is no longer true, but that point is at least G or lower.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
