    Struck on a thicker Planchet. There is a exact weight, then there is a +/- tolerance in weight for all coins. Yours does not have that much of a difference.

    And there isn't a gram difference just .2 grams I don't know what the spec were for the Canadian half, but the specs for a US half dollar for that year was +/- .4 grams, a possible spread of .8 grams. So I would say there is a very good chance you are just seeing normal weight variation and that all of them are within spec.
