<p>[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 8335766, member: 110020"]I spent about a month this afternoon trying to get a good enough picture of this Kennedy half dollar and the Eisenhower dollar that showed their actual color. Then I spent another month trying to find something online that could explain them. I don't see anything else unusual about them so I'm simply curious. The Kennedy half is what I would call "shiny pewter" for lack of a better phrase and the dollar has a brown tone. I've never seen either of these colors in the 400 million coins my son and I have looked at this week and we didn't clean them so the color is as close as we could get. My wife brings these things home from her job. We also have some Eisenhower dollars that are a "dull pewter" color, but we couldn't get a good photo. I'll keep trying. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any education you can offer.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1477883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1477884[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
