motos Valued Member United States 310 Posts	Posted 10/20/2009 6:57 pm There is copper reeding, but does that mean its automatically no silver content? I maybe thought it was just lower. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 10/20/2009 7:07 pm Yes, it doesn't have any silver, then. Still nice finds, though. Report this Post to the Staff

motos Valued Member United States 310 Posts	Posted 10/20/2009 7:21 pm Thanks for the replies! : D Am I missing something but why would the mint spend time making proof coins and then making silver proof coins? Is it to give proof like quality without paying for silver? Report this Post to the Staff
ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 10/20/2009 7:30 pm After silver was removed from circulating coins, proofs were still being made out of the current clad composition. In 1975-1976, they made 40% silver bicentennial proofs as well as clad proofs. in 1977 they resumed with the clad proofs that are still being made today. In 1992 they also started making proofs of 90% silver. So I guess the answer to your question would be No! A proof is a proof. Clad proofs are cheaper naturally than the silver proofs. Your State Quarter proof is still proof, not prooflike, although it's probably impaired. Report this Post to the Staff
