I had thought newly-minted silver quarters weighed 6.25 grams. However I notice that PCGS Coinfacts lists the silver Statehood Quarters as 6.30 grams. Did the weight actually change or does PCGS consider five hundredeths of a gram negligible?

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

Sloppy rounding.

In this day and age of counterfeits it's not in the least helpful to be rounding off weights.It's one thing to think , yeah..it's just a state quarter but do they do this with other coins too ?
be a weight of 6.25 grams and a silver content of .18084 ounce of silver per coin. In reality, we
have noticed that many of the modern Proof silver quarters weigh 6.3 to 6.35 grams, on an
accurate scale. Perhaps the manufacturer of the blanks was given a mandate that none would
weigh less than 6.25 grams, and is making sure that they meet or exceed this requirement.
It would be interesting to see what a large quantity of these would melt out at.
