[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1053050, member: 27043"]The 1971D is one of the dates/mm known to have been struck in silver by mistake. The other, if memory serves, was the 77 D (probably on planchets meant for the bicen. silver sets) However, those coins were struck on 40% silver planchets, not 90%. As suggested above, the best way to be sure is to weigh the coin. 12.5g is 90% silver, 11.5g is 40% silver, 11.34g is a common clad coin.[/QUOTE]
