    Anyone know about Kennedy half dollars?

    I used to search rolls of half dollars and found this one 1967 that I put away because the rim was all silver.I know that that year is only 40% silver. I tried weighing it but my scales are saying it weighs 11.9 I don't think they are very accurate.I figured I would ask in here till I get my scales fixed.Is this just something the mint does for appeal?Sure did trick me for a minute.Thanks Vickilynn

    Sometimes the 40% halves I find just happen to show all silver on the edge. So it's either that or someone plated it.

      I do know they are worth at least 50 cents Sorry I just had to do that... Would be cool to be the mostly silver version... Would be worth a lot more than 50 cents!!!

        the 40% halves do not show a "copper edge"
        in a very nice one it looks like two shades of silver
        your coin look like a normal 1967 half

          On a side note, I have actually seen some that a little copper will show. Almost got fooled a few times!
