snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 07/17/2009 3:16 pm I guess the weight wasn't standardized then. Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 07/21/2009 7:14 pm The weight was fairly accurate back then. Each blank was weighed and filed to the correct weight (at least in the better mints). Of course the rough edges caused a lot of clipping and filing by theives. The introduction of the edge designs and dentils around the faces were both originally meant to prevent clipping or filing the edges. Report this Post to the Staff
