<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 25484099, member: 27832&quot;]The chart has been posted here from time to time -- here&#039;s one such post:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-weight-tolerances.380149/#post-7524440" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-weight-tolerances.380149/#post-7524440">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-weight-tolerances.380149/#post-7524440</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Note, though, that there are some inaccuracies in the chart. It claims a weight of 2.527g for Barber/Mercury/Roosevelt silver dimes, but every other reference I&#039;ve seen claims 2.500g target weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like the tolerance for large cents and half cents was more than 4% in either direction. In my experience, coins worn down to AG or lower can lose significant weight, although it&#039;s more pronounced for smaller coins. (I&#039;ve weighed slick Barber dimes that were under 2g.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
