Folks doubted my honesty without a picture, so I went to the bank and took a picture. Let me know your thoughts, especially on rarity and value.  |

Very nice coins but when you state that you never heard of another set I am not sure what you mean by that. There are dozens of other known transitional errors. Even just considering transitionals in the 60's and 70's, there are many other combinations of transitional coins. 1965 half struck on 90% silver planchet, 1977 half struck on 40% silver planchet and all of the 1964 silver denominations struck on clad planchets are just some others out there. You have a set of three of many others out there.

You have a set of three of many others out there. I'm talking about the transition from silver to clad after 1964. I have not seen any 1964 coins struck on correct size clad planchets. If you know of any, please share a link. For JFK halves, I have not seen any 1965 halves on 90% silver correct size planchets. Again, if you know of any, please share a link. I don't consider the 1977 a transition error, it's a coin struck on a proof planchet, not a circulation transition mistake, It's subtle, just my opinion. What do you think? |

I know now what you mean but you are still missing the 1965 halve struck on a 90% half planchet. Google Mint Error News Magazine and look in their price guide section under transitionals. I also remember one being mentioned in one of the error coin newspapers. They also mention that 1964 coins were struck on clad planchets too. The 1970-D half was not meant for circulation. It could only be obtained in mint sets. So maybe the 1971-D shouldn't qualify for your set?

The 1971-D was supposed to be clad. So why would it not qualify? It was struck on a previous years planchet. (Like the 1943 Copper and the 1944 Steel cents.  Edited by coop

If you look at our earlier posts, the OP didn't feel that the 1977 half struck on a 40% silver planchet that I mentioned shouldn't be considered in his set because it was struck on a planchet that wasn't meant for circulation. His 1971-D half was struck on a planchet that wasn't meant for circulation either since the 1970-D half wasn't put into circulation by the mint and could only be obtained in mint sets.
Thanks Heynow for sharing those awesome errors.

You make a good point. I think what the 1971 has over the 1977 was that the 1971 was the first year that the JFK half was to be in clad and my specimen is silver. I had a chance to get the 1977 JFK silver, but I passed on it for the reasons that I mentioned before. There is also some type of Eisenhower clad on silver error, but that just like the 1977 JFK, a proof planchet slipped into circulation. I narrowed my focus to exclude those, I can't buy everything, I do have a budget. And a wife. |
