No Difference?

Hi guys, while CRHunting, I came across a normal 40% Kennedy. Yippie, right? Other than that excitement. I decided to weigh it. Well, it weighed 11.5. I thought that was odd. So I weighed a clad Kennedy. To my surprise, the clad coin weighed the exact same. What?
Than I checked the correct numbers. Yes, both are the same 11.5 weight. Did not know this.
How bout you guys, did you know this?
Thanks

The clad (1971-present) should be 11.34g according to the Red Book, with the 40% silver being 11.50g. Maybe you have a 40% silver 1977
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Step away from the scale.
Weight tolerance for C/N clad halves is +/-0.454 g.
11.34 - 0.454 = 10.886g
11.34 + 0.454 = 11.794g
Agree. Unprovoked weighing will get you into trouble.
40% halfs are so loaded with copper that I guess they are very close to cupro-nickel clad.
As far as I know, it's 60% copper vs 75% copper. Not too far off.
My scale can be off?
Still, I thought the 40% Kennedy would weigh much more than just 1 1/2 grams than a clad Kennedy?
Thanks guys
