<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gixxxer, post: 729189, member: 13268&quot;]Last week I took the opportunity to buy 2 boxes of Kennedy Halves. I didn&#039;t have high expectations when I started searching, but c&#039;mon... Couldn&#039;t there have been more than just <b>1</b> 40% half, out of 2000 coins!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The one that I got from the 2 box search is a 1965 P. It&#039;s blast white, with some tarnish on the cheek, jaw and neck. Looks like the coin has never seen circulation. </p><p>What caught my eye was when I opened the roll, and saw one white rimmed coin among the 19 other clad coins. My first thought was that it was a 90% silver coin, but when I pulled it to look, it was 1965... Which is supposed to be 40% silver....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The rim of the 1965 looked like a 90% silver coin&#039;s rim - it was all the same white, with nothing indicating a clad layer. It didn&#039;t look like two different metals &quot;sandwiched&quot; together, like a typical clad coin. I looked at a few other 40% silver clad Kennedy rims, and they all had the same appearance of two metals &quot;sandwiched&quot; together (granted, none of the comparison coins were blast white).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Are you always supposed to be able to see the seperation of the clad and core metal, on the rim of clad coins?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The first picture is of the rim of the 1965 Kennedy that I am asking about. </p><p>The second picture is of all silver clad Kennedy Halves, with the 6th coin from the top being the 1965 in question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
