Excited about today's find.

I bought 3 rolls of half's today just for the heck of it. I was amazed when the first roll show this silver bicentennial proof which I believe to also be a DD. What you think?

You sure its silver?they also made clad proofs. http://varietyvista.com/12 Kennedy Halves/DDOs 1976-S.htm http://varietyvista.com/12 Kennedy Halves/DDRs 1976-S.htm

 

A shot of the edge should tell, and there is a weight difference.

 

100% sure it is silver.

 

why?

 

Nope. Correction. Weight says clad. :-(

 

Hello, I thought your name was Richard, not Clad.

 

Oh well still a good find.

 

They also made a 40% silver that would be clad.

 

He got the Kennedy correct.

 

still a nice find

 

I see an anomaly but no DD in my opinion, still a nice find. Keep searching those coin rolls you never know what you will come up with, good luck. Thanks for sharing.

 

That wouldn't make a differencedid you forget only the 1964's were 90% silver,only the weight can tell.

 

Without seeing the edge, I was guessing clad proof which is a lower mintage, 7M, than the silver proof, 11M. Nice find on the S proof.
And 40% silver halves have a completely whitish edge with no copper showing. I think the core is alloyed. So it is "grayish white".

 

Really?guess I did get mixed up for a bit then.

 

Silver or not, finding one in circulation is sure a great find. Nice.

 

I certainly have not forgotten that a Bicentennial CLAD Proof will show in its’ edge. I was responding to the OP Kennedy, not before 1971.
