just got this 2023 silver proof from a reliable seller, it weighs 12.89 grams, while my other silver proofs weigh 12.67 or so, any ideas why?   Edited by kennedy759

It's less than 2% off the mark, is that within Mint tolerance for proofs?

Apparently this is within the allowable weight tolerance - although I don't know what that tolerance is for a silver proof.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. |

The difference may be 90% silver and 99% silver.

I reached out to the company I bought it from, they contacted the mint and found out 1992 and newer silver kennedy proofs have a tolerance of +/- .4 grams, so though high, it is correct.

Wow nice coin. That extra weight is for all the heavy snow cameo on Kennedy. Nice coin I like.
