nickelnickel New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 4:37 pm Got two sets of rolls from the bank. I have a 68, and a 67. Are these 40% silver? The only thing is they dont have a full silver rim like on lets say a pre 64. I'll post pics in a few. Report this Post to the Staff

ASLAN TVorlon Pillar of the Community United States 1234 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 4:49 pm The edge tarnish on a 40% JFK is a bit weird sometimes, I have one that looks almost black on one side of the edge and like silvery-coppery on the other. After 40+ years rolling around in pockets you'd look a little weird too the JFK half was 40% from 1965 to 1970, the 1971's have the sandwich look with solid copper in the middle.

Forget about the edges and compare the radically different color of the 40% versus clad half dollars. Happy hunting! Best Regards, George Report this Post to the Staff
