<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1136759, member: 15929&quot;]IMO, there&#039;s NO chance of it being 40% Silver since it does not have any mintmark.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Back when the 40% Silver coins were being produced at the San Francisco Mint they were also producing copper-nickel proof coins. Rejected cn proof planchets, due to planchet defects or problems with the planchet preparation processes, were sent to the Denver Facility for use in the production lines. Occasionally some rejected 40% planchets found their way into those shipments which accounts for the rare D mint 40% Kennedy&#039;s and IKE&#039;s.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Philadelphia did not handle nor use 40% Silver planchets since these were &quot;specialty&quot; planchets for special coins only produced in San Francisco.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW, anybody wanting nice unc cn Clad IKE&#039;s need only PM me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
