Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 2:37 pm I picked this up at my local bank, as the teller was bouncing it off the counter saying it sounded different than the others. I noticed a green dusty look to it and "possibly" doubling? Either way, a nice pick up for a buck..... Report this Post to the Staff

Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 9:18 pm T-BOP....I got 7 half dollars along with it and I was looking at those as I was posting about the 1950 $3. Sounds like a good enough excuse for me! Lol I need to straighten out time and again thanks. Also along with those coins I got a 1967 that I'm going to throw up on here and I don't know if I'm allowed to but here it goes... Report this Post to the Staff

Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 11:37 pm I'm not a big half dollar knowledgeable person I want to say but I believe these are 40% silver am I correct? Report this Post to the Staff
Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 12:14 am Any quarter, half dollar, dime or dollar older than 1964 is most likely 90% silver. That's where the term "coin silver" comes from. 1964 Kennedys, fraklin and Walking Liberty halves are all 90% silver. They make silver 90% proofs of the newer Kennedys too. I probably should ad that I always wiegh and test with a magnet any coin that is supposed to be silver but is green. Silver oxidation is black, copper is green, some times the green ones are fake.
