    I was born in 1973 and I've put together a nice little set of coins for my birth year. 40% silver Ike, uncirculated half dollar and penny, and a proof nickel, dime, and quarter. My question is were any 1973 40% silver half dollars struck? I'd like to have one for my collection.

    Sorry, I believe 40% Halves were minted 1965-1970 Inclusive.

    Nope 1970 was last year of the 40% silver halves. Except in 1976 for the bicentennial. (Red Book)

    they have silver proof coins for years 1970+ but i couldn't find any for 1973. After reading this post i just went on ebay and bought me a silver half quarter and dime the year i was born lol (1992)

    The Red Book is a great resource for this type of information.

    Silver proofs were ceased to be made after 1964. They were re-introduced in your 'birth year'.........
