Good explanation, so it really just means that it's an old beat up coin and not a mint error. Dang. Thanks for the info though I have learned something new today. -
The scale I have is accurate to .1g and .005oz. I just changed the units. For reference, normal halves weigh in 3.990-4.000 from the few I compared it to. It was a short term buy, I know I need a gram scale, had one before a long time ago. I need another one.

That's a viable explanation, however my issue with it is the weight is exactly the same (not close, but spot on) with normal halves and all of the lines, including the D mint mark are all clear and sharp (under magnifying glass, picture doesnt do it justice). I dont think an "exchange of copper" process would still keep the lines as sharp as they appear while not changing the weight after loosing 8% of its material content. I thought through what you've said before I posted but it doesn't pass to me as a severely weathered coin.

I found this today going through bank rolls, can you tell me what I have? 0% nickel clad is present. It weighs exactly 4.000oz. Obverse wear does not have the grean but same lettering and detail wear condition. Thanks
