levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 8:46 pm Hello all, Anyone know of any CLAD 1969 D halves? Coin has a copper silver look to it. Or not possible since CLAD halves started in 1971.Houghts? EDIT: I might have to break this one out and weigh it. Edited by levelsofmadnes 10/25/2019 8:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 9:03 pm Sometimes the 40% silver can look like that. (40% Silver 1965-1970-D) Clad started in 1971 for the halves. Report this Post to the Staff
Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 9:22 pm It's silver clad. Meaning there is a copper core. usually it is not noticeable but some times it is. Like the second from the bottom, far left, in coops pics. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/26/2019 07:27 am I think you need to weigh it. I see spots on it anyway, so taking it out of the wrapper to weight it is no big deal.IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 10/26/2019 08:22 am @John1 I was thinking the same ...since it has spots. The whole set is terrible. EDIT: But I don't know if that gets me anywhere. I have weighed enough to think the 40% and the clad weigh the same. I have a few 40% that weigh 11.3 and a few clad that weigh 11.5. I have a clad that weighs 12.24... and of course I get it back from PCGS with no attribution. I think I will call them and ask what their half dollar tolerance is.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/26/2019 10:09 am The photos look to me like a normal 40% silver 1969 Half Dollar. The core should appear silvery/grey in color because it's made of 20.9% silver and 79.1% copper. The slightly red copper colored edge may be due to the silver toning, but I don't see the bright red copper look of a pure copper core on your coin. I think it would be bright red if it wasn't silver, simply because it's still in the sealed mint packaging. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
