I weighed them both several times and it was always the same. Would they be off that much? 5.69 vs 5.52? Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/06/2021 1:47 pm Tolerance is the acceptable deviation from the standard mass. For a quarter, this is 5.67 +- 0.19 g, so anything from 5.48 to 5.86 is considered normal. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/06/2021 3:22 pm Above or below planchet weights would be canceled and re-cycled. No fix on them, but they get out, so I feel they weights are not checked all that close. (Probably on quarters mainly. The vending machines check for weight differences or eject them) Edited by coop 05/06/2021 3:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

mastaplanna New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 05/07/2021 07:32 am "Gold coins are set to a much stricter tolerance, especially as the weight increases" this contradicts itself...it shows the lower weight and lower value coins having a lower tolerance (as expected)...a double eagle has a .04 while the lighter coins, 1/2, 3$, 1/4 a full has .02 - if the statement were true, then the double eagle should fall to .01 (or so) not go up to .04 Report this Post to the Staff
