<p>[QUOTE="Bman33, post: 2687355, member: 77126"]In dealing with 90% dimes, quarters, and halves it's industry standard to go by the face value. If the coins were unc, you might multiply spot by .7234 ounces to get your face value. Usually dealers will multiply spot by .715 to get face value to account for minor wear and tear. Now, I scrutinize every junk dime, quarter, and halve when I buy. I cherry pick my coins looking for the fullest unc specimens I can find just in case they start going by weight. But for the most part, all the dealers in my area go by face value and really don't even look at the coins that much at all when I sell back to them because they are so busy at a show or in their shop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
