jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5202 Posts	Posted 10/29/2013 11:15 pm All silver clad were S mint marks. If the coin has an S mint mark and is UNC it is silver. If the coin has an S mint mark and is Proof it can be either silver or copper nickel clad. Report this Post to the Staff

half n a half Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 10/30/2013 01:08 am Let me try to explain again. Circulation '76 halves were made at Philadelphia (NMM) and Denver (D) San Francisco made three types of halves 1. Uncirculated (non-proof) collectors coins -- all of these were 40% silver clad. 2. Proof 40% Silver coins 3. Proof copper-nickel clad coins So what jack jeckel said is true. All silver coins are S mint mark. If it is an S proof, however, it may or may not be silver.
