<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1013040, member: 112&quot;]I have used a scale to weigh coins, thousands of them over the years. Now I will ask you this, why don&#039;t you read what I actually say ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have said that YES, there is a point in the grading scale where coins do lose weight. I have said that YES, there are exceptions and various causes where coins do lose weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I will go one further. Do this - find all of the VF &amp; F coins that you can, from any source. I think you and everyone else here will have to agree that VF &amp; F coins have a significant amount of wear. That said, by your claims they should all have lost a significant amount of weight from that wear. So go and weigh them. See for yourself. I dare ya !</p><p><br /></p><p>But I already know what you will see. You will see that they did not lose enough weight to make to be outside the normal mint tolerances for a brand new coin of the same type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, once you realize this and see it with your own eyes, then please come back and explain to me how what I have said is wrong ?</p><p><br /></p><p>If what you are saying is true - that coins lose weight from wear - then a coin in VF condition should lose a significant amount of weight because of that wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>If what I have said is true - that coins do not lose weight from wear - then the coins will weigh the same as new ones, within tolerances.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
