When were the $.50 pieces made of sivler? What other coins (recnetly made) were made of gold or silver? Any websites that have this info? thanks, Russian |
expensive years....... 1909 VDB (look for these initials on the back at the very bottom) 1909 S VDB 1914 D 1922 1931 S |
I was just wondering b/c I have lots of them at home. I know some are silver but just wondering about the rest. I have seen the silver proof sets for sell (I've been looking at buying some bullion  )

I've been buying silver and non silver proof sets as well as regular (non silver) mint sets since 1999 directly from the mint. It's been a great investment so far. Seems after a year or so after the mint sells out of them the prices double and then some, check out bottom of www.bestcoin.com/us-proof-sets.htm and www.bestcoin.com/us-mint-sets.htm Biggest winner is the 1999 silver proof sets, I ordered 2, the max they would allow you to order at the time, now they're worth about $455 each. 3 or so years ago I bought 2 1/2 rolls of BU Kennedy halves at about $40 a roll. Wish I bought a boat load of silver and gold bullion though |
