Specifically an Eisenhower Dollar.
I have a 1971-s uncirculated 40% silver dollar that weighs 24.0 grams
I have a 1971-s proof 40% silver dollar that weighs 24.7 grams.
They are supposed to weigh 24,59 grams. My scale seems to be accurate due to weighing some copper-nickel eisenhower dollars that all weighed 22.7 grams.

Good question.
Clad dollar = 22.68 gms +/- 0.907 gms
40% silver clad = 24.59 gms +/- 0.984 gms
Your 40% dollars fall within the tolerance.

It can vary by coin type and metal. There was more tolerance (I believe) in early copper as opposed to silver or gold.
I believe you mean less tolerance. The more valuable the metal, the closer the tolerances.

I meant more variation, but your point is correct.
Thanks for the info. i am surprised at how much tolerance is allowed.
