40% Silver Kennedy Half Dollars were minted from 1965–1970 (and some 1976-S bicentennials) as a "silver-clad" composition, containing 0.1479 troy ounces of pure silver per coin. These coins are popular "junk silver" for investors due to their lower premium over spot. They are widely available in circulated condition, with bags of $100 or $1,000 face value commonly traded.
Composition: 40% Silver, 60% Copper.
Weight & Silver Content: Each coin weighs 11.5 grams and contains
troy ounces of pure silver.

Mint Marks: 1965-1967 (no mint mark, Philadelphia), 1968-1970 (D or S mint marks).
Value: Primarily based on the current market price of silver, though they retain a $0.50 face value.
Commonly Traded In: Rolls ($10 face value / 20 coins), bags ($100 or $1,000 face value).
