A 1965 half on a coppernickel clad planchet would be impossible unless the half dollar planchets were punched from quarter thickness CuNi clad...
Get ahold of a set of Kennedy halves from 1964 to date and really look at them. You will find that the obverse hub design has changed at least...
Probably an over polished die. The eye if the deepest part of the design, almost down to the level of the field. This means it is about the...
Latest book on the early dollars is a revision of the Bolender book written by Jules Reiver. The title is The United States Early Silver Dollars...

The closest thing they have to that is with the commemorative coins. The organizations that are supposed to get the surcharges the collector have...
Your 44 has a lamination, you can see it running from the center to about 4:30 on the obv. A lamination like that can result in a "dumb" planchet...
Remember that if you do attend one of the events and have them grade there there it is going to cost somewhere between $125 and $200 per coin for...
There are literally thousands of different designs used on silver rounds. Some have dates, some don't. I knew a collector in the Louisville Coin...
