I still havn't found any silver coins yet, I have only been through a few thousand, but I found this, I think it a proof, just posting to make sure.
Yep--the S mintmark gives it away...if its a Kennedy with a S mintmark its a proof...some don't have the S and are still proofs...it just takes an eye... I would suggest you buy a Red Book...as that will tell you what dates are proof and the like. Please don't go by the prices in the book as they might be right and they might be waaaay off! Speedy
I found a '76 S one time It was in pretty good condition too! It confused me so I checked out a book from the library at school, and found out it was silver!
so I am just guessing at the grade, but it's below a proof 60, like a proof 45??? anybody who really knows want to give it a real grade?
Nice find. I'm surprised that you've been through that many Kennedy's and haven't found any silver yet. The 40%s (1965-1970) seem to be more common than that here. Good luck with your hunt and have fun.
I know what you mean about a nice find that coin is. Around here I used to get silver coins at the bank with about every 3 to 4 rolls. Nowadays with the coin boom so big I can't find any anymore.
Nice find. Bummer its beat up from circulation. At any rate, the silver in it is worth $2.50+ Not a bad turn around for $0.50
My silver coins from circulation are 1968d half which i found under a coin star machine 1906 canadian dime 1964d dime 1943p war nickel 1945s war nickel
