Tatetopa Posted December 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2016 It the old days the value of a coin was related to its weight because it was a precious metal like gold or silver, Outside detail kept people from shaving the edges to accumulate small slivers of precious metal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
