<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 1618988, member: 34882"]Just to add any silver Eisenhower will have an S mint mark and be either a proof or regular business strike, however like I said not all S mint marks are in fact silver. Besides looking at the edge or ring testing the best way to determine the difference is weighing the coin regular clad coins weigh 22.68 grams whilst the 40% silver clad weigh 24.59 grams. They are called 'blue' Ikes because they came in a blue envelope from the mint originally, the silver proof Ikes are often called brown ikes because they came in a big brown box from the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
