Tman1515 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 01:17 am Hi. Pretty New need help. I have a 1967 Kennedy I can't find much except it should weigh 11.3-11.5 grams. Mine is 12.3 grams and has several Cuds or medal pieces and a Huge die crack threw the head. Is this accent hair on this coin? Also very odd color Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 10:27 am Accented Hair was only on the 1964 PROOF Kennedy half dollar. Production was stopped almost immediately after Mrs. Kennedy objected to the accented hair. The weight of your coin is significant in that at 12.3 Grams it is closer to a 90% Silver Half than the 40% Silver Half. I don't know if that is possible from 1967 or not. I'm sure the weight experts can help you more than I can. Good Luck! Edited by chuckster 125 11/23/2017 10:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 11:56 am Die cracks, Cuds, mint marks and die breaks do not add any weight to a coin. The same amount of metal comes out after the strike. The weight is just re-arranged. Report this Post to the Staff
Tman1515 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 2:28 pm Hi. Thanks for the feedback. How or what program do I need to add text and circle errors. The 12.3 wt. is that significant? How do I get values or price of error coins? Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 2:55 pm Here is just one source of info. http://www.coinnews.net/tools/error...escriptions/ Yes- if your coin weighs 12.3G that is over tolerance for a 1967 40% Silver JFK Half. See Chase007's chart that he posted for you. Report this Post to the Staff
Tman1515 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 11/28/2017 06:12 am Scale with weight? What should I do? Send to grade? Suggestions? How or when should you grade? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/28/2017 12:21 pm Notice on the second image, the crack is a scratch on the coin. Not a die crack. Edited by coop 11/28/2017 12:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
