I agree with all of the above. Normal half dollar coin. Keep searching.


How is it normal at all weighing in @ 9.65 grams? Am I missing something here. Is this the "new normal" for halves now?

I know you was on other forums. What you have it is the only possibility for your coin. Those are not errors.


And if it is rolled thin planchet from rolled thin stock, is that not considered an "error" on behalf of the mint?
Please explain these two very confusing conclusions.

Merclover, its a half dollar for sure. Having CRHed over 2 mill halves myself, and collected thousands of silver halves there is not one that has this weight and size. Calling it normal would be a stretch. Yet I understand what you are trying to convey. Thank you for sharing your input.

The rolls in 1968 was 1100 Ft. long for halves. The thin roll not "planchet" could be from core roll or from the cladding rolling. Those are partial and in general could be find in the begin or end of the rolls. Those are not errors. Happened on all denominations and all the years. This anomalies is frequent as the floating roof on Cents.

I was and consult the year foreign coins struck and no one meet the closers parameters.

Now I will put here the specs as per Mint and the 1965 Law:

Quote:
3-layer composite coin. Outer cladding 800 parts
silver, 200 parts copper
bonded to a core approximately 209 parts silver and 791 parts copper.


Thickness on edge = 2.18 mm, Diameter = 30.61, Weight = 11.500,
Min, weight = 11.100 and Max. weight = 11.900, Reeds = 150

Those was the Halves 1965 till inclusive 1970. 1968 do not has P or S and only D (Denver)

Hope this will help everyone.

There are many 40% silver half dollars in this weight range. They were undoubtedly struck on half dollar planchets derived from rolled-thin half dollar stock.
