Bscott87 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 10/12/2019 12:55 am I'm a fanatic about weighing coins. So far the coins have all been about the same. Washington quarters are 5.61Grams give or take a tad Tonight I weighed a 1970D quarter at 5.46g And a 1996D at 5.80grams Any input? Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 10/12/2019 09:19 am Looking at the info in John1's link (tolerance of +- .19 gram), the 1996d seems to be within tolerances and the '70d just barely within tolerance once you factor wear into it. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
