11.5 is normal +/- mint tolerance. Color is just toning.It is 40% silver though.

I copied and pasted this comment from a previous topic last year. I hope this may help. For me, looks like your coin is convincingly a little overweight. Ask someone with an XRF analyzer to help you figure out the actual composition of your coin.

If the scale is accurate that coin is far enough out of tolerance to possibly be worth a premium.

As far as the color, that isn't unusual for 40% silver halves.

Agree, the toning looks very normal here.

Trusting the scale is calibrated. Color/tone is not uncommon for 40% Kennedys.
