As for the DDR, I would need to see pictures to comment on that. It is quite possible that your coin is affected by Machine Doubling which adds no extra value. Report this Post to the Staff
KEITH A New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/27/2011 7:36 pm What I was trying to say was that the 1971 proof Kennedy half was mistakenly struck on a sliver clad blank. How rare is this? I will try to upload a picture. Report this Post to the Staff

How rare would such a coin be? Probably R-7+ if not R-8. Question, how do you know it is struck on a 40% silver planchet? Weight? tissue test? Specific gravity? Report this Post to the Staff
