Message:: [QUOTE="bhh, post: 2858192, member: 89326"]The thing makes me the maddest about Mike M. is his presentation called, "last of the silver Kennedy's in which they usually sell a roll of what are said to be uncirculated 40% Kennedy halves for $99.99.  (I saw one version of the presentation where you only got 10 coins for $99.99) NOT ONCE does he mention they are only 40% silver.  He just goes on and on referring to this as a great way to acquire physical silver and always refers to the coins as "silver coins" or "the last silver Kennedy's."  Now...are the coins silver? Well, they certainly CONTAIN silver, but  I would think a coin would have to be at the very least a majority (51%) silver to be referred to as a "silver coin."  In fact it would seem more appropriate to refer to these as "copper coins" since its 60% copper.  But if all that is required is that the coin contain SOME amount of silver then why not get a bunch of silver plated pieces and sell them as "silver coins?"[/QUOTE]
