<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 914687, member: 24633&quot;]According to an excerpt from Tom DeLorey in <b><i>The Authoritative Reference on Eisenhower Dollars</i></b>, the San Francisco Assay Office had apparently shipped some 40% silver blanks (rejects for whatever reason) to the Denver Mint in 1973 once the SF Mint began striking the copper-nickel clad coins. At least two 1974-D and one 1977-D Ikes surfaced that were struck on the 40% silver planchets. He also received an unconfirmed report of the existence of two 1976-D Ikes struck on the 40% silver planchets. In 1976 or 1977, he had also heard a rumor of a 1976-D Kennedy half and a 1977-D Washington quarter that were also struck on the 40% silver planchets.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I were you, I would consider contacting Mr. DeLorey about your coin. I believe he still writes a column for Coin World. If it is one of the Denver-minted coins on the 40% planchets, it is quite a find.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
