<p>[QUOTE="Coinsallday, post: 3372797, member: 100828"][ATTACH=full]894572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]894573[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]894575[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]894576[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]894577[/ATTACH] Every time I go to the bank, I ask if they have any half dollars. The teller had $5 in loose halves this particular day. So I bought them. In this 10 coin lot was a 1974 P half that weighs 10.4 grams. When trying to research it, I Couldn’t find anything definitive. It appears to be the same diameter of others. When I held the 10 coins in my hand, I looked at the edges and thought I had a 40% half (the coin in question is in the very center of the stack of 7 clad coins), only to find a 1974 date. I checked my scales against the other 9 halves and they all weighed 11.2 grams. The rare earth magnet I use to check silver, reacts the same way to this coin as a 90% half does. Besides being cruddy and circulated, the devices seem to be weakly struck. Please let me know your thoughts guys.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
