Kennedy Half Dollars were 40% silver between 1965 and 1970, including the 1970-D which was struck only for mint sets. An unstruck planchet from that production was somehow mixed in with the usual copper-nickel clad planchets during the subsequent year. The peripheries of this example are softly struck, as are the centers of the devices, and there are a few faint handling marks from brief circulation. Lightly toned and with ample remaining luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe someone rolled the reeded edge in mercury.</p><p>That would coat the copper on the edge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
