PMD means post-mint damage and is a negative thing. The marks on yours may just be "bag marks" from clanging around with other halves when the mint put them in bags for transport. That doesn't mean uncirculated, though. I don't know about grade because we can't see the whole coin, both sides, but it's worth more than 50c (it's 40% silver). That's all I can tell.  Edit: I just figured out what "ddoill" meant. I'm not familiar but it seems there are DDOs for that year/MM but, of course, closeups of the devices would need to be posted.

They never stopped making them in 40 silver The "S" minted coins are still 40% , I meant when did they stop making "D" and "P" minted coins in 40%. Or are some of these still made in 40% as well? Forgot to add  to the CCF! Edited by MontCollector

From what I see, the 40% silver Kennedy's ran from 1965-1970 and again in 1976-S coins. But, the Kennedy and Ike compositions are kind of a jumbled mess to me at this moment. Edit: Even with proof sets, there are differences. There are silver sets and clad sets. If someone has a chart laying around to clarify all this, please post it!

I collect Ikes myself and could explain it for you but this might help clear up the Ikes for you better...check the price guides on this site for composition not prices. Closest thing to a graph I could find for Ikes. http://www.ikegroup.info/Edited by MontCollector

Wait til you try to figure out the Kennedy silver AND clad S Proofs! Think ikes are same, blue box/brown box? Yes 64 was 90%, 65-69 were 40%, the 70D is clad but was only issued in mint sets. As to blue "toning", that's actually environmental damage caused by improper storage/handling. Some people do collect tone silver coins but not a big market or premiums. Now, DDO...without proper closeups and focus, can't see enough to tell. Don't know why/what/where you thing there's doubling. Only stand out to note but out of focus was the GOD on the 1969D, possibly is MD, Machine DoublingAs to 2000D penny no doubling there, Die Deterioration maybe?  |

90% in 64. 40% in 65-70, inclusive. (I agree with Crazy that they were only in sets in 70.) 1976 S proof was minted in both clad and 40%, 1976 S circulation strike was 40%. No more silver until the advent of silver proof sets in 1992 (90%), but there are both clad and silver sets from 1992 til present. Then some funky stuff in the 2014 50th anniversary set.

Yes 64 was 90%, 65-69 were 40%, the 70D is clad but was only issued in mint sets. The '65-'70 Kennedy's were all clad but, silver clad - 40% silver. As far as I understand 1971 onward business strikes are CuNi clad. I have to admit that PCGS CoinFacts leaves something to be desired in this area. I know there are later Silver Proof sets but now I'm even more confused about the Half Dollar composition of post-1970 proof sets. I assumed it was 90% silver in a "Silver Set." I may be completely wrong. Still confused! Edit: I took too long to write this. Thanks Druu for adding some clarity. It's still a numismatic mess, right?  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

All pre 1965 half dollars are 90% silver. 1965-1970 and 1976S circulation grade are 40% silver. The 1970 and 1976S were only available by purchase from the mint. Circulation strike halves from 1971-present are CoNi clad. 1964 proofs were 90% silver, 1965-1967 SMS (special mint set) halves were 40% silver, 1968-1970, 1976 proofs were 40% silver, 1971-1991 all proofs were CoNi clad and from 1992-present they've minted both CoNi clad and 90% silver proofs. Clear as mud now?
