DoriE442 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 08:23 am Hi, I am new to this coin thing. I have read a few things about coin weights. I have a 1996 D quarter that weighs 5.79g which is much more than my 2022 quarter (5.66g) I am holding onto. What does this big difference in weight mean? Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19202 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 09:16 am There is a Weight Tolerance (acceptable variance) for minted coins. I believe your example is just within tolerance. Report this Post to the Staff
