Okay Gang...Feedback. I think I know but just want verification for certainty. DD or MD? Also, I have a 1965 (11.5g), 1968 D (11.5g), & 1969 D (11.5g) Kennedy HD's that are have SILVER throughout the sides...zero copper. I found these in my Grandfathers coins he gave me a long time ago. Do I have something in value due to 1964 being the last year for 90% SILVER. Did research but want o know you you great people think. (Already slabbed but Pictures can be available)

The half dollars are 40% silver. The cent looks like MD to me. John1

So...what / why is the scenario full silver on the side if it's 40% silver...where is the copper indicator? Does this scenario have a name /version?

Your Cent shows a classic Machine Doubling. Kennedy halves from 1965 through 1969 were minted with 40% Silver. average value for any of those years range from .50 to $4 Graded ones in MS+ can fetch $20 to $50+

Thank you...love learning...so interesting. So, if it has 60% copper why doesn't it show on the sides like the other clad coins with 60+% copper?

Because it's not clad, a layer of one metal fused to a layer of a different metal, it's any alloy, a mixture of metals, that's 40% silver.

 On the 1970-D halves they are also 40% Silver. The only way to get these were in that mint sets.  There were not circulated, unless someone broke up a set and spent it.

The Cent is showing Machine Doubling. The two dark spots on the area near cent are called carbon spots.
