<p>[QUOTE="dicedealer, post: 1255707, member: 32610"]so today i go around searching for silver halves and find 2 that are very unique. the first one is a bicentennial but, it's silver. it doesn't look like a proof but i can tell it's silver. i can tell by the color, the sound it makes when dropped or flipped, and the edge. i haven't come across another like this before. check it out</p><p><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/unr8ed01/photo-7-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>hard to tell from the picks but, it has that whitish look of silver</p><p><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/unr8ed01/photo-8-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/unr8ed01/photo-9-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>as you can see from the side there is no other color. it's got the uniform silver, almost white color. what do you all think of this? as far as i know there aren't silver bicentennials except for proofs. is this just a proof that has lost it's mirror like luster? i'm just so sure this is silver. i'd like to go get it tested to be certain. </p><p><br /></p><p>next is another unique coin. </p><p><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/unr8ed01/photo-10-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/unr8ed01/photo-11-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/unr8ed01/photo-12-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/unr8ed01/photo-13-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>hard to tell from the pics but, this one looks almost like it's been chromed. you can see someone has stamped "1960" to the left of jfk and "1980" to the right and it appears to be gold in color. the back has slight aging. looks nice to me. not sure if you can see it well from the pics or not. anyway, what do you all think of this half? </p><p><br /></p><p>both are really interesting to me. most of the halves i like are different. they all have the aged look either naturally or maybe even chemically. anyway, i think these 2 i will be keeping for myself. i'd still like to get them tested to see if they're silver. if i do i'll let you all know the results. thanks for looking and comments are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
