Silver 12.5 grams, clad 11.3 grams or so

 

Thanks Tinpot,I got it on feebay. "Silver proof" wasn't in the title but it was in the description. It was also listed as "Composition - 80% silver" which should be 90% right? I hope I got a deal because of the mislisting.

If it's not silver at least I only paid $100..... JK

 

how bout a link to the item?

 

I hope you meant to say you only paid $10

 

yup, its either 90% or 0%. Good luck to ya, I hope you got the silver version.

 

I was kidding when I said I only paid $100. I paid $4.25

Gulp, Is there a typo-god?

 

Had me worried there...
if it's clad you got a good deal, if it's silver you got a super deal. Hope it's Silver.

 

Hopefully its silver at only $4.25 you might have just bought a proof.

 

you forgot 50%

 

I'm pretty sure I didnt , I won't say I'm a hundred percent sure because I have been wrong before, but I'm 99.99% sure.

Can you show me a link with a 2008 50% kennedy, or any date 50% kennedy?

 

i meant 40%

I see nothing about 40% Kennedy's after 1970

 

That's a clad proof, and since the seller admits there's some rub on the obverse device, that makes it a circulated clad proof no less. I wouldn't have paid a dollar for it. After 1992, all the silver proofs are 90% silver, not net 40% silver clad. They were issued in the Silver Premiere Sets.

 

if you look on the side of the coin and its all whit, silver color, no copper color.
its silver.

 

Silver or not, I will still be happy with just a proof.. But I wouldn't mind getting some silver for cheap. :yes:

 

Great information.

 

I don't mean to put a damper on your enjoyment of the coin, but for future reference, there's no need to settle for such a late-date circulated proof. Somebody mishandled it.
