    Hi, Thank you in advance for any help. I have been weighing my Half dollars for a long time looking for a 40% clad error when i came across this bicentennial weighing in at 11.57 grams. My scale is perfectly calibrated as i had just weighed about 50+ clads before hand. They all weighed in anywhere from 11.19-11.36 grams. This one does not appear to be silver from the edge as i have compared it to other 40%'s i have and it is too dark. The coin is clean and no signs of it being a magic coin or counterfeit. Any input would be very helpful! Thanks again guys! - 20190118_161152.jpg 20190118_161158.jpg S20190118_0007.jpg S20190118_0008.jpg S20190118_0009.jpg 20190118_161254 (1).jpg

    Thank you for all the responses, upon further investigation the mint has a tolerance of +/- .454g for clad at 11.34g average. So this is in fact just a fatty
