1971 D Kennedy half dollar silver clad. Hey everyone I'm needing some help confirming what I have os silver or not. I am new to the forum and new to coins. The coin I have more and more seems to indeed be silver. Here are some of the details. The coin weighs 11.22 and its rim is clad. I pinged tested from a free app, tissue paper,magnet slide, and my girl's makeup skin silver test. All of the ameture tests are saying its silver. It also looks like there may be a rim error on this coin as as well. Any help is appreciated. |

I tried a tissue test as well. The coin looks lighter than the '81 or others I tried under the tissue. |

rim is clad @PJ77, first welcome to CCF. Second, if the rim shows evidence of a copper layer, what makes you think that the coin is silver?  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Sometimes it takes a while to get familiar with coins. If you can post your questions with photos we will be able to help you more. |

There is an auction I was just looking at for a 1971 half struck on a 40% silver plamchet, the weight listed was 11.3 grams. Would be interesting to see pictures of this one.

 Copper clad in middle tube 40 silver clad in both outer tubes. Typically no but you can on some coins see traces of copper on edge-can a '71 D silver clad exist? Why not anythings possible-but pics would help, of the edge too Edited by Slamnbass
