<p>[QUOTE="msungs, post: 1085421, member: 28882"]I have some definitive information. Every coin has specific tolerance levels and certain specifications. The specification and tolerance levels for the US Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar are +/- .259 meaning that the tolerance range is 12.241-12.759 grams. This information can be found in the "Red Book Professional Edition", through printed sources, or online. Since I have measured my coins with calipers and now I am armed with this information I think it is safe to say my coins are authentic. Thank you for your time GDJMSP because you really made me think about some things in a different way. Your general 1% rule of thumb is a good one to apply if you want to be safe, I just wanted the official tolerance ranges and my coins pass. Thanks and I look forward to meeting you again in the forums.<p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Read more: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=66241&pagenumber=#ixzz1Bmr2fdP2" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=66241&pagenumber=#ixzz1Bmr2fdP2">http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=66241&pagenumber=#ixzz1Bmr2fdP2</a></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
