SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 10:24 pm Since there were 40% silver half dollars from 1965 to 1970, has there ever been a case of a half dollar on quarter stock during this time period? Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 1:29 pm There's a 1971-D quarter dollar struck on 40% silver clad stock rolled to quarter thickness. It's also off-center on a straight-clipped planchet. I wrote about it in Coin World (4/22/13).

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 9:10 pm You got me thinking about that guy who found that 1977 D half that was struck on a 40% blank. I still don't know how that managed to happen. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 9:11 pm Probably was from a 76S 40% half, and not from a pre-1971 half. Makes me wonder if there's every been any 40% 1977 quarters accidentally struck now. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 11:30 pm I think it would be impossible since there is a copper core to a 40% half dollar. Report this Post to the Staff

I still don't know how that managed to happen San Francisco shipped rejected planchets to Denver to be used for business strike coinage. They weren't supposed to ship any of the 40% planchets but some apparently got mixed in with the clad planchets and shipped. The problem with this theory is that all of the 40% Bicentennial coins were struck in 1975. It explains the 1974-D 40% silver pieces because they struck 1974 coins halfway through 1975. But why do we get 40% silver on Denver almost two years later but no 76-D 40% coins? Edited by Conder101 04/08/2015 10:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
