1965 Kennedy Half 90% Silver
Has anyone found one of these?
Some pictures of it next to 1967s and 68s that are 40% silver and then a photo of it next to some clads
Thoughts?

    I think some silver 1965s came in sets from the Mint. I can’t remember for sure though. But you know those sets the Mint makes?

    90% silver 12.5 grams
    40% silver 11.5 grams

    I feel 90% looks a little whiter than clad and edges are deceiving

    I've seen 65-70 Kennedy half dollars look like they are all silver.

    When I was going through halves for silver, it was fun to guess if it was a 90% or 40%. Many nice 1965, 1969 tricked me to thinking they were 90% by just looking at the edge.
