Are ALL the clad bi-centenial halves (Kennedy) clad with silver and copper? If not, how do you tell the difference? If silver clad, they would be 40% clad, right?

40% silver clads were available in the special Bicentennial 3 coin Mint Sets and Proof Sets with the S mintmark. The regular Proof Set contained CuNi clad coins.

The regular clad ones.......just spend or take to the bank. Those "saved hoards" of bicentennials aren't worth diddly !!
I only keep REALLY nice BU examples of em' if I run across any while roll hunting......and I've NEVER found a silver bicentennial while "silver huntin'"...[V]

Eh, you can make almost 1.5 x face on your quarters on ebay... minus fees, about 34 cents for a quarter. (The halves for some reason... not so much.)

I've been holding bicentennial quarters for years, may put a couple of rolls on ebay sometime after reading the above. I've never found a 40% bi-centennial either, but maybe one day, just maybe.
