1967 Kennedy Half Dollar 12.3 Grams

The scale is dead on. Put a dollar bill ion it's is 1.0. A nickel is 5.0 dead on
I have a medical marijuana card for years since I was hit by a drunk driver had 27 surgery's and last year I suffered a heart attack. I get stuff mail order never ever had been off Had it over 10 years now. 1/8 3.5 3.6 from mail order. Quarter 7.0 7.1 etc.

I have searched every where. I do t have any local coins shops just one place they only take coins to melt etc. so I searched coin dealers also with error coin knowledge there was a size or more in Albany Ny. So went to albany and stay there from a Thursday morning till Sunday a all day Thursday and Friday and Saturday went to 32 total dealers in the all the surrounding area Half of them never open I had to make appts so did. I than went on Sunday to the Albany coins show at the polish center My luck they guys that grade the coins stuff were at some other event that day. So the feed back they gave me. That the coin is real not fake or counter fit They all did had many search options I did didn't have search actually sales of anything. Like that Not one dealer or dozen of buyers and sellers at the show could give me a clear or some kind of issue or what kind of coin stock just all kept saying there is no way that years later it was accidentally struck on a 1964 but if. It was than it could be worth something

The coin is silver with tint. Of greenish color. And every single dealer weighed ithe coin. The dealers with scales similar to mine but they had the extra measurements 28 different places every one. Was 12.3 but some said 12.37 12.36 1234 etc etc Several dealers had weighed it with couple of different scales same 12.3 minimum 2 others had same 12.3 than they used some device that held the coin let it just dangle both dealers that use that type 12.45 and 12.46 back to 12.5 it blinked back and forth so both 12.45. Than the several people at the coin show used. Digital scale like others again 12.3 up the ones used just like min no difference 12.3

How can I find out exactly what I have m? What it could potentially be worth if it was struck on 1964 stock The coin was probably weighted over a few hundred times over the 3.5 days. Not one person. Put it on the scale. Seen 12.3. And done. They all would be silent I would say so what do you think ? Hello Can u answer me Why did you stop talking and just shut down see you seen the weight. It's crazy almost every single dealer. Vendors etc etc. they alll. Say ok so your the guy with this 1967 Kennedy that weighs 12.3. Talking away. At the begging when you weighed this sure your scale. Was properly. Calibrated ? Batteries are good. Etc. u have your scale. Lauren buddy I have over 10 hrs of video. I have over 100 plus pics with clear as can be proof with the weighed. Than I was. At the coin guy in that little mall. They called a guy over that is one the best coins graders and appriaizer a round. If he can't help you out and if don't know what it is or worth it's possible no body else will with it either. He glen. So at first glance it appear real his scale is really old and the scale it self u can see it's off center and springs under it are worn so def won't get the right or accurate weight. I did it. Quick and forgot to tare it. Glen. Said listen just be quiet about him not knowing what to even look for your what to say or ask. What errors it can have ior what it even. does. I said your right read my post. I am very very clear about that. I said this also the one thing I know for sure is 200 plus times it's been put on a scale and every sugar every single dealer. Vendor. Collector all. Said ok let's this 12.3. Not possible. Sorry to waste your trip and hope. But u will se with proper equipment show the true. Weight. Glen. Says. What did you get just now 12.3 4. Hang on it was touching the fork Glen says get some gloves ion now And. Place it right on that circle Ok. Now turn it half circle. Ok other way good. Same circle. Ok flip it head too. Ok flip. Ok in center perfect. .
Hey Charlie right ok ready this coin is def A real coin the mint told you they have no records etc. nothing to show it was actually Done in any of there mints For all we know its was and is 12..3. Totally off and shows major major sigh.s that it is 99 percent been struck by the federal reserve or the mint if the mint had no record or surveillance 1000 percent combed and properly cleaned and watched and over seen by members and teams Nd was it also tagged invest time. Yes yes yes. And 100 percent no foul baby
Ok than this 100 percent federal Jj Ted coins. So that makes me suspicious now. Who why And the Need to to think and want stupid. Ok

Ok since now you know. What this error is sorry and what to expect t Simeon to pay to have it ? Someone had to have a idea form past or other cousin value s if this same issue

Thanks guys. I feel it It has ti be big bucks. It's a huge error. And a huge president

Ok, how about a shot of the coin's edge? then another image with a normal coin's edge laid on top of this one, that'll be helpful.

Place a U.S. quarter on your scale and post a pic. Also post of pic of the entire reverse of the coin.

Well, thank you for the pictures of the edge. If you look closely, you can see a fine line intersecting the middle of the edge That line is from the Copper/Silver core (mostly copper) and you can also see the silver/Copper (mostly silver) Cladding over that. This tells me that this is a 40% silver half dollar. If it were the 90% silver version from 1964, you would not see that line down the middle.

What I think you have is a slightly rolled thick planchet. I also would recommend that you get an XRF test done to verify that.

What a XRF TEST?
And does that bring a premium ?
Could be maybe on a foreign planchet?

I appreciate all the feed back and help

Thanks

When you originally posted that was my thought (foreign planchet) as the only possibility.

I believe the U.S. Mint was striking 90% silver Pesos for the Philippines in 1967 but they were 38.1 mm in diameter. The 50 Centavos pieces were 27 mm in diameter and contained no precious metal.

You could also try a specific gravity test in addition to the XRF. Any decent size jewelry store or coin shop should have and XRF.

11.9 grams was the max weight for 1967 halves. My guess is you have an out of spec coin that is 40% silver. Your edge photos confirm that. That far out of spec is unusual and should bring a decent premium as a mint error.

Should I send this coin to PGCS etc?
