coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/03/2011 2:58 pm There were no proof coins in 1967. They mad Special Mint Sets from 1965-1967. no mint marks to keep the coins from being pulled from circulation. They were trying to replace all the silver pulled from circulation after 90% silver was stopped being used. The 1965-1970 Halves had a copper coin covered with 40% silver. So the copper doesn't show on the edges of the halves till 1971. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 12/05/2011 12:22 am Many of the silver-clad halves (1965-1970) show a line along the edge caused by the different color or reflectivity of the center 20% silver alloy compared to the outer 80% silver alloy. However, some have a uniform bright silver edge with no visible lines. A few worn or dirty examples show a reddish edge tint that makes them look like a copper-nickel clad coin. All these are "normal" variations. The ones to watch out for are the 1965 coins with 12.5 gram weight. Those would be rare errors struck on leftover 90% silver planchets and are worth a lot. I don't know anyone who ever found one but they do exist. Report this Post to the Staff
