11.90 grams 1968-D Kennedy. Is this enough weight variance for a premium?

No. I don't think the overweight planchet would draw much interest. The coin itself is a very common date and has below average eye appeal. As with other varieties, something like this has to be promoted by a well known dealer to have any chance of catching on with collectors.
Spec nominal was 11.50g +/- 0.4g. 11.90g just squeaks in.
I read the variance was tolerance was +/- 25. Which is correct. I don't think it would command much either way but I'd like to know the fact.
Your .25 tolerance was for 1965 halves...for '65-'70 it is .4.....Cheers, RickO
If I were paid by the planchet, they would all come in as close to the low end as possible!
p.s. I would expect the spell check to recognize planchet! Even MS word does not get it.
As Ricko noted +/- 0.25 g is not correct, that was the tolerance for 90% silver halves from '47 to '64. They were 12.50g nominal.
+/- 0.40 g is the correct tolerance for '65 to '70 40% halves. These 11.50g nominal.
Very good try guys
