<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1001122, member: 112&quot;]Actually tolerance levels were much more strict back then than they are today. For some reason people always seem to theink that just because it was long ago that they did not have the ability to maintain tolerances. That is simply not true. At one point in time, and yes in the US, making coins that were too light could result you&#039;re being put to death. So they took extreme care to make sure that tolerances were maintained.</p><p><br /></p><p>And wear has practically no effect on the weight of a coin. Even a coin in Good condition will still be within weight tolerance.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the coin in question, I strongly suspect it is fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
