Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1015229, member: 112"]I'm really not sure what you're saying here. First of all I have admitted several times now that yes there is a point, a grade,  at which coins lose enough weight due to wear to put them out of spec. I have always said that. The only real question is where, at what grade, that point is. You also should have seen me say that there are exceptions, there's always exceptions to everything. In none of my comments have I been speaking in anything but generalities. Now you have Clembo's evidence, evidence from a guy who sells these bags of junk silver every day. Clembo said - "The bag of Mercury dimes in question would probably yielded few coins of a grade of F or better." Now if only a few graded F or better, then most of them graded F or worse. Would you disagree with that logic ? Don't see how ya could. And that means that most of the coins were either F or VG, with a few G or AG. But yet the bag of these worn coins was still within spec by his own reported weights. Just like I said they would be. Yes, coins lose weight due to wear. But they do not lose enough weight from that wear to put them out of spec. And that's all I have ever been saying in this entire thread. The evidence is there, and it's not even my evidence, but Clembo's. So how is it that people keep telling me that they disagree with me ?[/QUOTE]
