biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 7:03 pm It is 40% silver clad, there were no 90% Kennedys minted between 1965 and 1991. Edited by biokemist6 08/16/2011 7:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Ricardocody Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 11:36 pm Is impossible to know for sure if its 40% without a pic from the rim ! I have couple bicentenial S mint mark that is clad but yours realy looks 40% though . Edited by Ricardocody 08/16/2011 11:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 11:43 pm An uncirculated S-mint Bicentennial Kennedy can only be 40% silver clad, there is no CuNi clad version. The white band on the cello can only be found on the Mint Set cello for the three coin 40% silver Bicentennial set. The cellos from the regular CuNi clad Mint Set were either blue or red, depending on the mint. Report this Post to the Staff

ljenkins990 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 4:24 pm Based on the cello color, biokemist6 is correct. There were CuNi clad 1976-S Kennedy halves issued, along with quarters and dollars, but they would not be in cello like what's shown here. Report this Post to the Staff
