While CRH half dollars today I fount this1968D Kennedy I believe is struck on Quarter Stock. (Correction) "When I posted this I didn't take into consideration that in 1968 Quarters were no longer Silver". My Bad! This half dollar weighs in at 9.65 grams, Thickness is 1.66mm, diameter 30.38mm. I have found one similar to this a few years ago, but in clad. it is a 1977 that weighed 8.8 grams. Please check out the photos and tell me your thoughts.

Adding, Blanks made by using wrong Stock is one thing. Struck on wrong (quarter) blank or Planchet is another.

Okay I didn't take into consideration that in 1968 Quarters are not silver. My bad. So my statement is incorrect that is could be quarter stock unless there were still silver quarter stock still around the mint during the minting of this coin. Most likely Not! This is not caused by coin wear. There is too much detail on this coin to say its weight is due to wear. Now I haven't myself heard of Half Dollar stock being rolled thinner than other stock. That could be the case.. I am only guessing and I was wrong for sure because I didn't take the date of this coin into consideration when think it could be quarter stock. I'm still learning here, trying to understand.

I did a bit of searching and found a reference that said the US mint made 1 Colon coins in copper-nickel for Costa Rica (Philadelphia) and 50 cent coins in CU/NI for Liberia (San Francisco) in 1968. Specs are close to your coin. I did not find a reference to Denver mint though.

I'm in the "rolled thin" camp. No other coins of that era were 40% silver, so it must be an underweight half-dollar planchet.

Well the half dollars from 1965-1970-D were part silver stock. The normal quarter those years were just normal clad stock. So the edge will not show the copper layer those years.


So it has a normal planchet stock for that year.

So Coop, Do you think its just half stock rolled thinner than other stock. Is this considered a mint error?

Actually Silviosi, no one has definitively stated for sure this coin is struck on a thinly rolled planchet made for half dollars, on either forum. Also I'm trying to find out if this is a common occurrence and if its is considered a mint error. I have pulled approximately 8500 silver half dollars out of circulation and have searched over 2,070,000 half dollars and never seen one like this that may be struck on thin stock. I have pulled a 1971 struck on quarter stock. Again, my goal is to learn what happened, how rare are these types of verities, and if its considered a mint error. Thank you for your input though.

I know you was on other forums. What you have it is the only possibility for your coin. Those are not errors.

I agree with all of the above. Normal half dollar coin. Keep searching.
