How do experienced CRH-ers tell if a half dollar is struck on a 40% silver clad planchet? Are they silver on the rim like the 1965-1970 half dollars? I have read that there are some Denver half dollars, in 1971 and 1977, which are unique in this way. A typical 1971 or 1977 half dollar weighs 11.34g, and the 40% silver clad planchet 1971 and 1977 halves weigh 11.50g; are you able to feel that difference in handling the individual coins?
