Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 02:03 am I think if its Struck Through Grease, it should still weigh 12.5 grams. Looks worn to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Are you using a good scale when weighing this piece as it looks like PMD to me... I know this is 90% Silver, but I used to get half dollars that looked like this at the Casinos in Vegas & Atlantic City some 20 years ago... Report this Post to the Staff

At 0.2 grammes less than the standard weight, I think that some of the body of this coin has been removed. My guess is sandblasting or similar. Is there any disturbance of the edge milling?

At 0.2 grammes less than standard, it seems that the coin is of good .900 silver. A comparison ring tone test next to a standard '64, may give an indication that the coin is of good silver.
