just started looking around a little. i have found some 1964 coins. besides the .50 is there any other coins to look for after 1964? i read that the 1976 .25 has some silver. any truth to this? i always thought it was only 1964 or before. any other coins i should be looking for?
thanks for any help guys stuck |
| If I remember correctly they made some silver proof sets, in other words don't waste your time looking for anything other than pre 64 coins. Also keep an eye out for silver war nickles 42-45 2 of them actually have more silver content than a silver dime. Have fun! |

couldn't find all the info on coinflation
I'm not that smart, guess that's why I don't use them not an avid collector of post 64 coinage. IIRC: Ikes are 40%, from 71 -74, and bicentennial Kennedys from 65-70, 76, 92-08 70s are usually worth more than the 65-69s - they were stuck for mint sets only the >92 are proofs having the same standard as pre-65 quarters from 76, 92-98, Statehood >92, same as above most are packaged for proof, some mint sets. you'd be pretty lucky to find these in your change (I did find 4 70D Kennedys) IIRC |

(eta) with exception to the earlier Kennedys, it seems like all of "silver" was minted in San Fransisco, but not all Ss are silver (all of this recalling is hurting my head) |
