[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4298432, member: 112"]When you weigh coins, make sure you take tolerance levels into account. [ATTACH=full]1094081[/ATTACH] By all means, check as many coins for weight loss due to wear as you like. Over the years I've tested thousands of them. And the results confirm what I said above. For what it's worth, most folks follow the same line of thinking that you do. But actual testing proves that thinking incorrect. And few are ever willing to believe that until they do themselves and see it with their own eyes. Now just for giggles I'm gonna give ya little test. Please tell me how much weight you think this coin lost due to wear ? [ATTACH=full]1094082[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1094083[/ATTACH] And yeah, I weighed it (on a calibrated scale) when I bought it fresh from the mint and recorded its actual weight. And then weighed it again when I took that picture.[/QUOTE]
