What is the weight tolerance of an NGC slab? 0

[Taylor7]

Hoghead, thank you for putting slabs on scales and reporting numbers, very helpful. 
 

I cracked my coin out and it does not weigh enough to be a 90% silver planchet. 
 

yes, the part about pattern/prototype/trial was smartasserry aka trolling

here are photos of the doubled die if it interests you

You said

given the reverse die is a ‘64 it seems to me it’s a prototype or pattern or trial piece (whats the difference, anyway?). 

How did you determine that your 1965 SMS has a reverse Of 1964?  I have never heard of such a variety and found nothIng doing an internet search.  Can you please provide a reference or something so we can understand what you're claiming?  

Whenever I find a doubled die which does not match the references I use, I go ahead and check the adjacent years if it’s the reverse die to see if it was reused. 
 

I check the listings on pcgs, ngc, variety vista, and wexlers. 

does anyone know of a more complete database? ANACS pop report lists many but I can’t find photos of them. I don’t understand why the CONECA database isn’t accessible either.

That will get you added to a lot of people's "not worth bothering to respond to" list.
