Proof Kennedy Half Dollar Question

I was under the impression that starting in 1992, there are Silver Proof Half dollars. What I am confused about is I see both 40% silver and 90% silver 2005 half dollars for example. Yet the Dansco's only have one spot for silver halves. Are there 2 "weights" of silver coins for all those years?


Thanks,

Erin

The only 40% ones were 1965 to 1970 and 1976. Where did you see a 2005?

 

there is only 1 spot for silver because any date above 1992 the Kennedy half dollar was 90% silver. Like state quarter guy said 65 - 70 and 76 they were 40% silver. Now 1964 Kennedy is 90% silver. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_half_dollar

 

If you're seein' 40% Kennedy's after '92 then I want to buy in , 'cause that's gotta be one heck of a rarity....

Maybe seein' double?

 

Hey guys, I thought that too but here is part of an EBAY ad and I have seen several.

Now the thing that made me look into it is I picked up 4 Silver Proof Kennedy Halves. Three of them look amazing and "white" as can be. The 4th one has a slight "copper" tone to ites edges as if it were clad.

Any thoughts?

My thought is that either the seller is an idiot or he/she can't type.

 

Well, if it was on eBay it HAS to be true!

 

By Jove Hobo you are right.......gotta little bit of land for sale that's underwater. Any takers?
