<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nyatii, post: 2970689, member: 85686&quot;]I had a wild idea last year when I was told that I&#039;d have a new granddaughter in 2018.</p><p>While messing around on the computer, I happened across a bunch of 1818 Capped Bust Half Dollars , and thought it would be neat to gift my new granddaughter a coin 200 years older than she was as a keep sake. She was born Jan 12, 2018.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, not having a lot to spend, I purchased the coin shown. Since I don&#039;t have knowledge of this type of coin, I just wanted to make sure it is legit since it seems there are fakes of everything. It looks good to me, but thought I&#039;d see what everyone else says since I have 30 days to return.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I don&#039;t know is what is normal for weight variance for a worn coin of this type. Specs say it should be 13.48 gms or 208 grns. I tared my RCBS scale and weighed the coin several times. It always comes out 13.10 gms or 202 grns. Would anyone know if this is within normal limits?</p><p><br /></p><p>Diameter varied 32.66-32.79mm. I also used my rare-earth magnet which it didn&#039;t stick to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you in advance for your information.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]728757[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]728766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]728767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]728768[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]728769[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
