<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iGradeMS70, post: 1108125, member: 29109&quot;]They made them .400% because the government couldn&#039;t afford to make all coins 90% silver anymore it 1964, but they had only had the Kennedy Half out for 1 Year previously (1964)...and they felt that since Mr. Kennedy had just passed, it would be wrong for them to not include the precious metal in the coins, so the government only minted them in 40% silver content. The half dollar was the only coin that was minted in 40% silver following the year 1965.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
