Hey, I found a very strange Kennedy half dollar in a roll today that I need help identifying what exactly it is.

It seems to be a 1973 half dollar minted on an all nickel planchet. There is no trace of copper anywhere along the edge. Is there even such an error as this? I read elsewhere that people are finding modern quarters with the same (errors?) as many are mistaking them for silver. The sound of this coin if pinged sounds very close to the regular clads. Anyone know what is with this coin? Is it rare?

I don't have a digital scale to weigh it.... I am guessing that this is what I will need to do.


I posted this elsewhere on the forum with other finds, but I haven't gotten any answers on what I have so I'm posting it here....

As I said in your other post.... I would weigh the coin. This will give you a better idea of what you have.
