Besides the weight is there any other way to test it.
I kinda believe it is a rare one?
Any idea please

I agree and thank you for the chart
But after I weighed around 1400 halves the not single one was more than 11.37 from 1420 there was many under weight and I do appreciate your input. But have you came across or anyone else has. To be honest I weighed 1965-70 and they are 40% I barely saw more than 11.4 on the 40%.
I just think the tolerance for low is even more but for more weight it’s .10 the most. And I think they have to recognize it I can provide some feedback after exactly weighing 1420 coins.
Again I appreciate you guys.
Also denial I saw the new 2022 in the video you said you were going to list them After the video I went to buy couple and I couldn’t find them. Do you still have couple left to purchase?
Thanks

Problem with questions like these is, you didn't post any images and we can only tell you the tolerances and allowances of the planchet weight. We can test your coin here, so it's futile if you don't agree with our replies.

Also the 2022 are up on the site, the menu even has a Silver Eagle tab for a future reference. Thanks https://portsmouthcoinshop.com/product- ... ver-eagle/

But now I can see that I was completely wrong.
