<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 3552300, member: 2098&quot;]The reason is that auctions are all about making profit and often a lot of value in a coin is tied to its metallic composition. When it comes to giving the weight, the purpose in doing so is to denote its value based on that (especially when it comes to silver and gold) wherein the diameter itself is not seen as relevant. So there you have it: a narrow focus on the desire for profit based largely on a coin&#039;s metallic composition.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Edited to add:</b> I noticed this thread in the &quot;Recent Topics&quot; column and did not observe that it was posted in the &quot;Ancient Coins&quot; sub forum until after my post was made. I would say that generally speaking, my post is relevant more so in a broader context wherein modern coins are in the mix of discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
