I got my first boxes of halves to see if they are worth it.

I am about halfway through the first of my 3 boxes and found a proof 1976 Kennedy half. It has a copper core as I can see it so I assume it is clad not 40% silver. Still it is a nice find. It was cloudy so I dipped it and it came out pretty nice.

If it doesn't look like silver, nor sound like silver, it is not silver...I don't care what it weighs.

The '76 40%ers that I have found were copperish, pinkish on the edges. One was a proof and one was a business strike. Both were confirmed as silver by my LCS.
