<p>[QUOTE="pballer225, post: 1611820, member: 35843"]I'm not sure exactly how clad coins are created, but I know the 1965-1970 kennedys inner core is 21% silver, 79% copper, and the outer clad section is 80% silver, 20% copper. Just another trick by the mint to hide the fact that the dollar was (and still is) crumbling, and isn't strong enough to be backed by silver at current prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
