<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jrg79, post: 25484169, member: 161676&quot;]Thanks for the chart! But as someone else commented on that other thread, I&#039;m a little perplexed about where this data came from. Are these the maximum weight variances that the U.S. Mint itself &quot;tolerated&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>Particularly for the earlier coins I&#039;m interested in, color me skeptical that in 1796 they were weighing each minted Liberty Cap Half Cent with balances accurate to the milligram, as this chart would suggest, and throwing out the &quot;bad&quot; ones. Weighing my own coins with a modern electronic scale several times successively, I tend to get random variations of around 4-5 milligrams.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
