<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24715855, member: 27832&quot;]Yeah, there&#039;s some suspect data in the chart posted above -- but that +/- 0.454g tolerance matches what I&#039;ve seen elsewhere, and indicates that an 11.55g clad half is still <i>well</i> within tolerance.</p><p><br /></p><p>The apparent thickness or thinness of the cladding layers you see on the side varies widely; it all depends on how the metal was dragged across the edge as the blank was punched from the stock strip. So, yes, you&#039;re seeing different layer thicknesses on the edge, but no, that doesn&#039;t mean the layers are really different thicknesses -- they&#039;re just <i>smeared</i> at the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>The photos you&#039;re posting (excellent photos, btw!) look to me like a completely standard clad half dollar. If it were struck from silver, it would almost certainly have a distinctly different color -- I&#039;ve only ever seen one or two 40% halves that look <i>that</i> much like clad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
