Peele New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 01/29/2017 8:41 pm Any idea why a '67 Half would weigh so much? I calibrated the scale and this piece .36g heavier than any other? The coin is circulated and does not have and dirt or film on it. Thanks for any input. Sincerely, Peele Report this Post to the Staff

Peele New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 01/29/2017 9:03 pm I recalibrated the scale with a certified weight and the true weight for the coin is 11.69g, I apologize, but, this coin is still almost a half gram heavier than any other coin. I still learning and I thank you all for your patience with me, Sincerely, Peele Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 01/29/2017 10:34 pm Peele, 90% silver halves weigh 12.5g, 40% silver halves weigh 11.5g, and copper nickel clad halves weigh 11.34g. Your new weight looks close enough to 11.5g to me. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/29/2017 10:39 pm 11.1g to 11.9g is the allowable tolerance on 40% halves. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 01/29/2017 10:43 pm Thanks BH! Do you have a link for acceptable Weight Tolerances of different coin composition types? I remember seeing a pic of the 1977 40% silver JFK half slab and thinking it was odd that a recorded weight in the 11.3 range was enough to be silver. Report this Post to the Staff
