coincollector123 Pillar of the Community United States 850 Posts	Posted 12/27/2010 10:24 pm 1964 and before are 90% (currently .36 oz of silver) and 40% are 1965-1970 (they have .14 oz of silver). The proofs are a different story though. Some are 40% and some are 90%. the 1976s proof MAY be 40%. they started to make some 90% silver proofs in 1992. They have both 90% and clad.

coincollector123 Pillar of the Community United States 850 Posts	Posted 12/27/2010 10:25 pm you can usually tell by dropping a silver coin on the ground. The silver coins have a higher pitch than copper-nickel clads. Report this Post to the Staff

coincollector123 Pillar of the Community United States 850 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 10:01 am yes that is always fun. I get looks all the time. I have never been denied. But I have asked for half dollars from the bank and the lady thought they were dollar coins. I had to explain that they were only worth half of a dollar. Report this Post to the Staff

Casutherland Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 6:34 pm Yea, I cashed my duplicates back in today and am going to head back out tomorrow and get some more from regions. What banks have you had luck at, I hit about 6 banks today and none had any. I live in Brentwood and it is a very rich area so you would think that people would have some, but I think there are a lot of collectors around my area. Report this Post to the Staff
