sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 03/29/2020 07:41 am Check the accuracy of your scales. If OK, then your '83 is 6.8% overweight. Only a very tiny proportion of coin production is quality control checked for weight. I don't think one or two overweight in billions would have bothered the U.S. Mint very much. At 6.8% overweight - scarce? yes. Highly valuable? - not really. Report this Post to the Staff
