Yea, its 40% silver (65-70) before is 90% silver. That means there's about the same weight of silver in that Kennedy as in a 1964 and earlier quarter, figure @ $3.50 or so, may only get $3. Way it works. Most usually get a bunch and sell, by 10 or 20 pieces at a time.

That 4th picture down had me gawk and balk for a second, I thought you had a clipped half there for a second.
I like the silver clad halves personally. They are the Rodney Dangerfields of modern coins. They don't get any respect. I just wonder how many actually got melted down?

You should be happy with that find. Many years ago I CRHed halfs and only found 2 1965 and not in as nice of a condition as yours.Not much more value above melt but a great find. John1  |

@NCV, that is a nice pick-up and a keeper!

So, as others have said, it's value is in the silver it contains because it is circulated. You might want to hold onto it and look for other 1965-70 halves to sell as a lot (as Crazyb0 said) or for fun, to get a set of the twelve P&D issues. |
