<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gianni, post: 3585576, member: 100339&quot;]the price of silver had already risen long before 1964 so that many 50c Franklins were merged. In these cases it would be madness to raise the tolerances on a coin with 900AR and at the mint they were not stupid. Subsequently in 1965 they went down to 400AR and raised the tolerances as coins with more than 600CU vary a lot in weight compared to 100CU, but also there was a mistake because it was still convenient to melt them. When a coin remains in the same chemical measurements but the weight is greater than 12.50gr it means that it contains over 900AR as heavier silver than copper and therefore these coins were of 925AR.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
