<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2460888, member: 27832&quot;]The first step with the 1965 half is to weigh it on an accurate gram scale, preferably comparing it to several other 40% and 90% half-dollars. (With the confusion between troy and standard ounces, a single weight in ounces isn&#039;t useful.)</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s <i>not</i> possible to tell just from checking the edge color -- because of the way the metal moves during striking, it&#039;s possible to get an edge that looks like &quot;solid silver&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mean to rain on your parade, but &quot;when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras&quot; -- and a 1965 90% would be closer to &quot;unicorn&quot;, not &quot;zebra&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
