2 Boxes of Halves today...

Were interesting. I found 3x40%, all in the same roll, nothing else. I also found a quarter mixed in a roll.

I did pull out a silver edged bicentennial half, no mintmark. It's got a proof like finish and when I opened the roll I thought it was a 90% by the bright silver edge. It doesn't sound like silver at all, however. Anyone have an idea of what it is?

It may be plated, although such a coin would have a polished and uniform appearance, not the matte-silhouette-on-a-mirror-field cameo-like appearance of a proof coin.
