<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3585716, member: 27832&quot;]There&#039;s a somewhat popular English saying: &quot;Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The claim that some 1964 half dollars were minted from .925 silver instead of standard coin silver is certainly &quot;extraordinary&quot;. In fact, I&#039;d say &quot;ridiculous&quot;. It would take <i>evidence</i> to change my mind, and I suspect to change anyone else&#039;s mind here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, I&#039;ve posted before about coin <i>weight</i> tolerances, and my concerns about taking a commercial &quot;Coin World Almanac&quot; as the definitive word on official Mint tolerances. I&#039;d rather see primary sources (legislation, internal Mint documents) verifying those tolerances. If, as you say, they&#039;ve retracted that tolerance figure &quot;on many sites&quot;, surely you can link to one or two of them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
