Wow Congratulations to the winners! I just want to take a moment to realize that this means there was approximately 87 grams lost due to circulation, if you estimate that in uncirculated condition the total would be 3777 grams give or take a few That's at least three whole Morgan dollars right there!

Congrats to the winners!  It appears I underestimated the circulation wear and overestimated the Mint's consistency.  Now, what will you do for your 1,000th post, Joe?
