It's within tolerance.

 

Hummm its ok but i found a video of 1977 on YouTube that weighs the same 11.6 grs and was categorized as 40% silver

 

Check this out , cos it was claim to be mint error

 

Your title says 1980, the coin on the scale is a 1968.

 

Check this out islander

 

Sorry i sent wrong one

 

I posted the wrong one earlier

 

In 1977 your chance for an off metal transitional error (40% silver planchet instead of regular clad) are greater because they had a few of the 40% planchets leftover from the year before. As time goes on your chances become less and less and while it is possible, it is unlikely that your 1980 coin is 40% silver. Let's see the edge. The
edge of the the 40% will still be a grayish white while the edge of the clad will show one layer of white and one layer of copper.

 

Yes the edge shows one layer of white and one layer of copper, but its surprising that it weighs 11.67 grms while other 1980 that i have weighs 11.36.

 

If there is copper on the edge it is not 40%, it is clad.
While it can be a little heavy and still be in tolerance, a slightly thicker rolled
planchet is possible. I would put it in a 2x2 coin flip and label the weight on there.
But it is not a 40% silver planchet transitional wrong metal error.

 

K thanks

 

What he said.

 

Thank u so much.

 

That's because it IS a mint error. Not because of its weight, but because it is 40% silver and not the copper Nickel clad it is supposed to be.

 

so this silver 1968 are within range as well because it weighs loweethan 11.5 grms

 

It weighs lower than 11.5 grms.
