<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 48924, member: 1748&quot;]The silver-clad half dollars were minted from 1965 to 1970.

I have an old one (2000 or 2001, I can&#039;t recall...like I said, I can&#039;t remember dates!) but it works for me. They are not expensive, you can probably find one at the library, and they are very useful even if you only go through change from your pocket or the office Coke fund, like I usually do. It tells you relative ballpark value, mintages, double-die errors to look for, what the coins are made of, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
