matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 11/17/2012 07:51 am I weighed the Krugerrand on an Ohaus Cent-O-Gram scale. It came in at 33.96 grams. I looked on the 'net and found that it weighs 33.93 grams. Given that I may not have accurately adjusted the scale, is a 3/100 gram difference of much significance? I like this scale. Has character.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/17/2012 10:26 am I remember reading a couple threads where the OP had weighed a couple ASE and every single one was either the correct weight or overweight. I believe the explanation for this was so the mint can ensure that each coin contained at least the correct amount of silver and would not have to deal with the PR issue that would come with underweight coins. I did see on a few sites that the coins had a remedy of +0.07g which according to them is the extra weight each coin is designed to have to allow for variances.

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 11/17/2012 11:29 am Are you suggesting that the Mint did something RIGHT for a change? The Baker's Dozen comes to mind - sell 13 loaves rather than risking having a limb being cut off for selling underweight bread. Your explanation makes perfect sense to me. Thank you.
