I'm a noob at this so I need your help. I've searched the internet and cannot figure out why this coin would come in at the weight it is. I've weighed it three times and calibrated my scale in between weights. I have this 1979 Kennedy half dollar coming in at 10.91g which I know is beyond the threshold. Does anyone know what the deal may be? TIA Report this Post to the Staff
