tjmdo New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 11/15/2008 12:27 pm I went to the bank yesterday and obtained several Kennedy half dollars in hopes of catching some silver. I did not find any silver but one of the 1989 pieces had a flat edge where the others had reeded edges. What do you make of this? thanks, tjmdo Report this Post to the Staff

And I don't believe altered purposefully by the casinos. But caused by the process of being in a casino. Edited by steve199 11/16/2008 9:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
