Found A 1972 D Kennedy Half Dollar In Silver

It looks pores to me so I am thinking silver plated but I am no pro.Are there any good coin shops near you that you could go to?

I am still leaning on plated. It isn't impossible to have a 90% coin that is either 8 years too late or 20 years too early, but the cards are immensely stacked against you for it being legit. You have a mighty mountain to climb to get this proven to be a genuine silver 1972D. I do wish you all the luck that it is, as I truly love it when a significant coin is first seen here, but don't go planning your retirement on this one.

I just hope its real for the thrill of finding a one of a kind. Plus I am sure I would be worth a tremendous amount of monwy. If it is fake no harm done but I guess I will send it in. Dont trust coin dealers in my area they are shady

Drop test?
Perhaps the comparative ring tone test:

The test is carried out over a blanket or folded towel, lest the coin to be tested should fall. Use gloves to avoid staining the coin with oils from your skin.
Rest the coin to be tested on the tip of an upturned finger and very gently tap the rim with another coin and listen for the pitch of the ring.
Do the same thing with a 90% Half, a 40% half and with a clad base metal Half.

The ring pitch of the Half in questiion should match one of the 90%, 40% or base metal clad Halves, irrespective of the fact that it may have been silver plated or not.

The only other alternative I can think of is that it is an excellent counterfeit, and therefore illegal. If that is the case, it should not be in your possession.

I've found a few halves here and there that appeared silver on the rim. I don't know if purposely done or what but the coins weren't silver.

My first impression as well.

Unfortunately, totally with smokerideron.
The thin cladding was either totally burred over the entire edge during the striking process in the minting press, or it is plated.

The chances of an error OMS (Off Metal Strike) are so close to zero, as to be entirely negligible.

The only other possibility I can think of is illegally made dies made by hubbing off an original '72 Half, then overstriking on an original 40% or 90% half, several times. However close examination of the coin should reveal the variation from normal for a '72 Half.

Thin silver electroplating is the very obvious possibility, and from what I can see in the pictures, that is in fact, the case; the details of the coin on both sides obviously seem to be a little mushy, to allow for the thickness of the thin over plating.

I have lots of obviously plated coins in my collection, both ancient and modern.
