spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 02:55 am I'm confused. Are you asking about the '71 or the '67? The '67 shows what I consider to be a normal weight (0.08g underweight). The '71 is a little overweight, but is easily explicable by thick stock and/or Mint tolerance (0.11g overweight). Are you saying you think the '71-D is silver clad or that the '67 is CuNi clad? If I follow, the 1967's SG is 9.36 and the 1971's is 9.3?

SDM Valued Member United States 384 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 04:46 am Yes sir I apologize I should have posted the pictures with the first posting. I was out of town and didn't have coin with me I just wanted to try to find out how to go about testing specific gravity so I could do it as soon as I got home. And yes sir I was wondering about the possibility of the 40% silver I had read the article regarding the coin certified in 2015. It's not that much money to send it in but if there's no upside to get it certified 1 gentleman at h a said it was worth $0.50 either way. I don't care about selling it but if it was rare as they said I was going to send it in to find out one way or the other I appreciate your input and taking the time to respond Report this Post to the Staff

SDM Valued Member United States 384 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 10:27 am Yes sir the specific gravity 9.36 on 67 coin and 9.3 on the 71 and all the clad half-dollars I've weighed never had one over 11.3 so the 71 almost mirroring the 67 is it possible. This disscussion was addressed in 08 on this forum what I am asking is what path besides weight /sg/ would you follow short of sending it off Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
