nancyk Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 01/28/2010 7:20 pm Are ALL the clad bi-centenial halves (Kennedy) clad with silver and copper? If not, how do you tell the difference? If silver clad, they would be 40% clad, right? Report this Post to the Staff

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 01/28/2010 10:37 pm The regular clad ones.......just spend or take to the bank. Those "saved hoards" of bicentennials aren't worth diddly !! I only keep REALLY nice BU examples of em' if I run across any while roll hunting......and I've NEVER found a silver bicentennial while "silver huntin'"...[V] Report this Post to the Staff

(The halves for some reason... not so much.) Report this Post to the Staff

afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 9:40 pm I've been holding bicentennial quarters for years, may put a couple of rolls on ebay sometime after reading the above. I've never found a 40% bi-centennial either, but maybe one day, just maybe. Report this Post to the Staff
