<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1187243, member: 10103&quot;]I was at a local show today and picked up a &#039;65 special mint set for no other reason than the price seemed right.&nbsp; $8.....think I payed $4 back in the day for a set.&nbsp; The envelope was sealed, but I&#039;m sure it was due more to the storage of the set.&nbsp; I don&#039;t kid myself.&nbsp; The mint shipped these things unsealed.&nbsp; Well, I get home and open the set up.&nbsp; Of particular interest to me is the Kennedy which is supposed to be a 40% silver piece.&nbsp; I check the &quot;third side&quot; and danged if I can find a hint of copper.&nbsp; I immediately break out the set that I bought way too long ago for comparison.&nbsp; There is an obvious copper presence on that one.&nbsp; Now with the way the mint produced these 40% &quot;Kens&quot; I&#039;m sure that it would be reall easy for the silver to flow over the copper and hide the copper color on the edge.&nbsp; And with me not having a scale to weigh the coin, I&#039;m just not gonna be sure. Does anybody know if a few 90% planchets somehow got mixed in with the production of the &#039;65&#039;s? Gotta find a scale real cheap.&nbsp; Any who, some pics....</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]124296.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]124297.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]124298.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]124299.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
