Was wondering why my 1972 D kennedy half dollars edge is different from the rest.
One example shown. I can't find this possible error. Thanks in advance.

Made of silver?not possible,to me it appears to have just been plated a really long time ago(damage)can you get weight estimates.

 

Looks normal to me.

 

The(Right)one,look again.

 

It's possible, Transitional.
Shelly here is a 70 last year of the 40%.
These came out of 70 UC sets.

 

Shouldn't the planchets be %100 gone by thenthe only thing I see for silver in 1972 are Ike dollars.

 

It's no different than the 83 Lincolns in copper. even 85 and 89's have been found in Bronze.

 

OK then,fair point.

 

Try the tissue test..

 

keep in mind edges get worn, especially after 50 years.
If you ever want to look at edge wear on coins then go to a laundrymat that still uses quarters. Those edges get a lot of wear. Get $10, 20, 50 in quarters from the machines and look at the older quarter edges.

Larger coins used to be used in casino's.
I think I found my source of half dollars: a casino | Coin Talk

 

True. But the picture shown is not a worn down edge. What they mean is that there is no sign of a clad over copper core appearance. It's all silver color.
The half in question is on the right side.

 

Yes, sorry. I believe actually weighs normal, like 11.3 grams. None of them are actually that worn?

 

The piece was put away since 1972 by my Aunt because she saved all dates of coins from when her kids were born. It's in great condition?
Maybe I should finally send a coin away. I just never wanted to do it

 

By the way thank you everybody for your responses. Very nice.

 

Sorry took me so long, but I didn't have tissue so this is with toilet paper? I'll go get tissue and try again

 

I don't see any difference in the tones.
It's clad.
Here is a 64/71

And the TP test.

Here is the 70D (40%) and the 71
