I have a 1969 D dime I found from circulation struck on quarter stock. It seems the Denver mint created several of this type of error in the late 60's to early 70's. The Official Coneca Handbook has a page listing the weights of the possible wrong stock errors. I have referred to this page several times in the past.

Any idea as to the value and rarity of mine?

I really don't know. The popular 1970 D quarter struck on dime stock typically brings $20 up. I would guess this half would bring more than the quarter.

The coin appears to be lightly struck.
That is due to the thin blank.
Interesting error.

The weights are actually listed in grains and have to be converted if weighed in grams but no. It is probably a slightly thick planchet.

Now you need a companion, specifically a quarter struck on dime stock  They are known for several years in the late 60s/early 70s and would be a bit more common than your half dollars. |

Dimes struck on quarter stock are much tougher to find. The thickness tended to cause them to jam counters and they were quickly weeded out.

Recently acquired a 1997 P Kennedy half dollar on a thin underweight planchet stock of 10.96 grams. So its on a thin planchet with full reeding and XRF analysis indicated a copper/nickel alloy. The entire rim area is weak. But it has the trait marks of your examples. Further comments are appreciated. John Lorenzo Numismatist United States Edited by colonialjohn

10.96 grams is within tolerance range. 11.34 +/- .454 grams That gives 10.89 to 11.79 grams.
