1976-S half question

[skelly9131]

Hi, I got my first 1976-S silver clad in a box yesterday. From what I've researched, it seems that these are 40% silver, but there seems to be some varying prices on Feebay. So, can someone confirm if all 1976 silvers are 40% or were there some 90% made?

Pretty sure there all 40% silver.

There were 1976-S clad proofs made (7,059,099 minted, no AG) and 1976-S silver 40% (4,000,000) made. The silvers were made for uncirculated sets. From what I can find, no 90% was minted.

Actually, there were 1976-S Clad Proof, 1976-S 40% silver mint issue, and 1976-S 40% silver Proof. It is pretty easy to tell the difference between the 40% mint issue and 40% proof, so you will know right away which one you have.
