How much lighter can you reasonably expect a worn Morgan Dollar weigh compared to a Morgan in nice condition?

I bought a couple rounds a while ago that I didn't like because I did a ring test on them and they didn't sound right. I sold them to the local coin shop. I hate selling silver but I needed a couple extra bucks and I didn't like them anyway.

It's been reported that as many as 1% of all circulating British 1 pound (CLAD) coins are counterfeit (a HUGE proportion), which may require the Royal mint to reissue a new version. As for counterfeit numismatics and bullion coins, it's getting tougher, what with the state-sponsored Chinese fakes industry as well as a growing source in eastern Europe. Unless you buy from a REPUTABLE source (a mint or a large dealer), you are at risk, and must take precautiions. ='[.]'=
Hi Greg,
I'm going to take a shot at how to detect fake silver dollars.
Now, you said the weight is right & you don't want to acid test them to mar the finish. Answer: Each metal has a particular weight for its particular size. The suspect coin will have a particular size to the weight. If the weight is the same as a real silver dollar then its logical that the size of the coin would be less or greater than the size of a real silver dollar in either diameter and/or coin thickness. Am I right?
