Can someone fill me in on what I'm seeing here, I know it has edge/rim error but it looks like it could be 90%silver maybe..... probably not anytbing but what does this look like to yall.... also I'll be putting up pictures of some half dollars sideways so everyone can see the color of the coin on the edge and I see a very very very minor copper coloring. In the pic I think some of them might be silver clad planchet error maybe... CM230513-235306001.jpg CM230513-235540013.jpg CM230513-235538012.jpg

It's important to know the weight of the coin, it can narrow down what it may be.

Kennedy half were 90 percent silver for only one year.
then they were 40 percent silver from 1965 through 1970.

The coin is heavily circulated, and throughout its life, some one may have plated it.
Or, it could be a valuable coin.

A scale, which weighs down to the hundreds of a gram (x.xx) is best, and scales can be had for less than 20 bucks on Amazon. Google can tell you weights of Kennedy clad, 40 percent silver and 90 percent silver examples.

There are many ways to determine if a coin contains a high amount of silver, without damaging the coin further.

If you are convinced it may be silver, you can submit the coin to ANACS for slabbing and authentication. Their reps are at a lot of coin shows, depending on which state you live in. Condition is everything with coins of this nature, the less appealing, the less interest, and return on investment.

The other third party grading services charge a lot of money to examine a possible error coin. I highly suggest researching how much you think a possible coin like this is worth in its current condition, and researching the possibility of it being what you think it is, and take it from there.
