GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 12:37 pm Condor101 Help me out. Where do you get your information on what a Ike would weigh, if it was made on quarter or half dollar stock? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/19/2015 9:04 pm From the RedBook. You get a ratio of the areas of the two coins (((radius of the dollar^2)pi)/((radius of the half dollar^2)pi)) This tells you that the dollar is 1.57 times as large as the half dollar. So an Ike dollar planchet cut from half dollar stock will weigh 1.57 times as much as a half dollar planchet. A half dollar planchet weighs 11.34 grams, so an Ike dollar struck on half dollar stock will weigh 17.82 grams. You can use the same ratio of areas technique to determine the weights of other coins struck as wrong stock errors as well. Report this Post to the Staff
