<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 588359, member: 1859&quot;]Without an accurate weight your observation that the coin is unusually light must be evaluated with a degree of skepticism.&nbsp; The edge view indicates that it is the same composition as a normal half dollar.&nbsp; Now, it&#039;s possible that it&#039;s a proof struck on a rolled-thin planchet, but in that case it should not be so well-struck.&nbsp; Your coin shows finning of the rim, which is a sign of abnormally high striking pressure.&nbsp; One possibly puzzling feature is that the coin shows no trace of typical proof &quot;frosting&quot; on the design.&nbsp; Can anyone tell me in what year intentional frosting was introduced?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
