<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3881764, member: 84179&quot;]You&#039;ve been hanging on CT for awhile.&nbsp; Time to get a copy of &quot;A Guidebook of United States Coins&quot; by RS Yeoman.&nbsp; If you ignore the pricing data, the redbook is loaded with info like compositions, mintages, weights, and even a basic grading guide.&nbsp; I would bet that nearly every experienced numismatist on CT that started collecting US coins has/had one.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to look up the composition of a 1967 half in about 10 seconds.&nbsp; While looking for the composition, I was quickly able to find the mintage (295,046,978), the weight (11.50 gms), and actual silver weight (0.1479 ounces)</p><p><br /></p><p>It will be the best $10-$15 you&#039;ll ever spend on the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
