<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 8103096, member: 66"]But this begs the question What is full weight? The weight tolerance on the the two cents you posted was almost +/- .5 grams So I think it could be very believable for a heavy weight coin to have been ground down and still be at the full spec weight of 10.88 grams. (and a cent altered like that that was still the full 10.88 grams would be much more likely to have survived over the years as a "mint error" than an underweight example.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
