[QUOTE="HumptyDumpty, post: 799416, member: 21325"]I was just going through my first box of halves searching for silver. When almost finished the whole box, I came across this one coin, then tossed it on the pile with the rest. Now the noise it made when striking the other coins DID NOT sound the same as when the other coins collided, so I picked it up to have a closer look. For about 15 minutes I clicked it against another single half, alternating between the 1990 (the coin in question) and alternating different coins. Well, whenever this coin clashed with another, there wasn't the usual clash, but more of a DONK. I then let it fall onto my desk, it fell like wood, where another coin would making the little chiming noise when settling. I then noticed the the reverse was roughly 110 degrees rotated from the obverse. When I weighed it, it came in at 11 grams. So, has anyone heard of a counterfeit 1990 Kennedy half? I'm posted some pics, not the best but I tried. With the obverse photo, I flipped the coin 180 degrees after taking the reverse, just to show the extent. Thanks, Chas.[/QUOTE]
