(Very new here, very new to coin hunting.) Looking through rolls of half dollars and am wondering this: 1. I assume circulated coins lose weight over time and that's why I see so much variation on the underweight-side? If that's true, Does this mean the ones that weigh more than 11.330 could be silver? 2. I have a couple of error books, and I am a little confused about DD. (Ok. I am a LOT confused, but for now...) Just how obvious should this be to a very new beginner?
