no, its some other planchet, it has the wrong weight of a silver half planchet so its not silver but it has a "white" edge

half planchet weights should be:
silver = 12.5 grams
40% = 11.5 grams
clad = 11.3 grams

This kind of thing gives me hope for your generation, Adam. You could be sitting on the PS3, like I would be if I was your age, but you're combining investment, learning, and preservation together. Well done, sir.

That is quite an impressive coin collection! Congrats on the dedication and discipline! When I was a teen I turned away from coin collecting and I even spent a good part of my collection to chase after girls (didn't get 'em). Keep at it!
