[QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 4784358, member: 100720"]Hi All. It's been a while since I've posted. I've been very busy since the Covid situation started and all the repercussions to work, home, relatives, etc. Anyway, I'm trying to get back to important things, such as my coin collection :p and I came across 2 coins that I'm wondering about. I have a 1967 and a 1968 Half Dollar and they each weigh 11.63 or 11.64 grams. The scale has been calibrated and my other 40% Half Dollars all weigh 11.50 give or take +/-0.04 grams. Isn't 0.13 grams too high an amount to be off? Why would they weigh that much? And if they are counterfeit, how could I tell? [ATTACH=full]1163453[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1163454[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
