<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 8502002, member: 78719&quot;]Yes, KY, I saw that one - amazing that so little nickel seems to color the center of the &quot;cookie&quot; a whitish silvery color evidently. I know the Romans used to blanche coin blanks in acid prior to striking and that a more up to date version of that was supposed to have been done to Brit silver in the 1920s after the reduction to 0.500 silver in the coinage to make it at least initially more pleasant appearing....</p><p>(BTW - I used to think 50% silver was rather poor &amp; let&#039;s not mention the 40% JFK and Ikes!). </p><p>In looking at this coin, the surface silver of a 65 year old coin looks nearly sterling.</p><p>BTW, since my birth year (oops, let that out of the bag) I bought a slabbed PCGS 67 version.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
