halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1496 Posts	Posted 09/10/2022 08:40 am The last 40% halves for circulation came out in 1969. 40 percenters NIFC came out in 1970 and 1976. A couple of 1971-D halves were accidentally struck on 40% silver planchets; one sold for $13,000. Edited by halfamind 09/10/2022 08:40 am Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1496 Posts	Posted 09/10/2022 09:37 am With a weight of 11.1 grams, it may be plated. Normal clad weight is 10.34 g. Even the 40% silver is only 10.50 g. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1496 Posts	Posted 09/10/2022 09:50 am Interesting. I'm going to still guess plated, given the higher weight. A jeweler w/ an XRF machine could analyze, possibly for a fee. The original photo didn't have a silvery look to it, but it's hard to tell from a photo. Keep us posted. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/10/2022 11:05 am 1965-1970-D half dollars are the 40% silver coins. I'm thinking this one was plated. Report this Post to the Staff
