But as other community members have stated now days your best bet is to weigh the coins. But if the opportunity comes and you are at a store or place where one is for sale and they don't know it's silver, that is a quick visual to see that it is in fact silver not clad. Also the finish on a silver vs clad is a bit different. Usually has a brighter silver color than clad. Hopefully this helps with your question. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187950 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 12:08 pm Quote: 40% silver Kennedy half dollars will have a solid edge(rim) This is incorrect. The 40% silver coins are still clad. On the surface, they have the appearance of an 80% silver coin. But those 80% silver (20% copper) surfaces are clad over a 79% silver (21% silver) core. The core is more difficult to see because of the silver content and can be even more difficult depending on toning and how much "bleed" there is from the higher silver content clad layers. Here is a decent image: Silver, Silver Clad, CuNi Clad...
