RE: Post-Nuclear Apocalypse Silver Half Dollars?

Yes, the Kennedy half dollars are ugly! 1964-present
The Walking Liberty half dollars are much more beautiful 1916-1947

And what did they do to those half dollars? Bathe them in urine? Maybe some cleaner?

It is interesting that that year, 1964, is the only 90% silver Kennedy half dollars.
The next year, half dollar was dropped to 50%. And 1971 dropped to nothin

Sort:  

Yeah, I have no clue what they did. I'm almost wondering if they were part of some sort of display and maybe the residue on the back is glue?

Yeah, I prefer the Walking Liberty halves as well, but I won't say no to silver under spot! 😁

Glue is a good bet, especially the dried up crusty stuff they had in the 70s.

Probably this stuff

Never look gift silver in the mouth.

Right? I figure after it soaks I can try some isopropyl before hitting it with the coin cleaning solution.
