[QUOTE="Truble, post: 2734915, member: 80662"]i found this half dollar in my roll searches recently. I first overlooked it when I was edge searching, but the machine kicked it out since it is Silver. My dump bank's machine is calibrated to reject silver halves, quarters etc. I moved this to ask those on this board what the opinion is. The coin has very clearly defined layers, silver and copper. Yet, I thought the 40% halfs were a silver copper alloy so the metals would have been amalgamated correct?, and there would not be a layer of silver and a layer of copper. Clearly it is 2-3 years from being a clad planchet error. It's not dirt because the copper band has a copper sheen to it.

The defined copper layer is more defined than the pictures show. By the way it rings like silver. [ATTACH=full]623006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]623007[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
