<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1012460, member: 26302&quot;]You posted this last time you and I had this disagreement Doug. I believe its a red herring since its gold. I told you, like many have told you on this thread, that we have weighed circulated silver and its underweight. Grab any well circulated SL or Barber half and its readily apparent. I think gold could &quot;squish&quot; more than silver. If silver coins do not wear, then why are my hands always black after handling them? This is wear, and the metal is coming off the coin and is lost forever. Even if it is only 1% Doug, on a $1000 face bag that is over $167 worth of silver today, and I do not think a bag of slick barbers would only be underweight by 1%.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen the same weight loss as other posters here, and I concur. However, no one weighs circulated bags. I think that the logic, (if there is any), is that newer coins with less numismatic premium will be heavier, while the worn ones could be coins with better numismatic premiums. No idea if that is true, but it might make sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
