sorry, but how can it be silver if it is a clad coin? you answered your own question when you posted it..
Perhaps enlighten us to why you thought it may be silver when you saw the copper edge..

That is interesting...it does have the weight of a 40% coin. A clad would weigh slightly less, like 11.3? But I think the reeding is pretty obviously a clad coin.

Perhaps enlighten us to why you thought it may be silver when you saw the copper edge.. Off-metal and wrong planchet coins exist and they did say it was heavier than the average. You are right about them being visually different. Here is one for the year before https://www.PCGS.com/auctionprices/...025817527179 br / br / |

  Maybe a heavy planchet, but not a 40% silver. Not the edges image. Edited by coop

How many times do I have to say that you can't tell a 40% silver half from a coppernickel clad half by weight. Their tolerance ranges overlap so much that a weight from 11.1 to 11.9 would be acceptable to either composition.
