40% silver spot in kennedy dansco?

scooter25

I have two spots left to fill in my dansco and they are 76 40% silver kennedy spots and I am not sure why there are two spots for the same coin or even where to get these coins? A little bit of help would be appreciated.

There are two spots for 1976? I thought there was one for silver, one for clad 1965 to date, and one for the bicen half.

two 40% silver bicentennial spots. I am not sure what they are for or where I am supposed to get these coins?

Russ

They're very common, so you can pick them up pretty much anywhere - eBay, coin shops, coin shows.

If you have the Kennedy Dansco with spots for proofs, there should be 2 spots for the 40% silver half. There is a silver business strike (minted in Phia) and a silver S proof (Minted in San Fran) issue.

are those both the bicentennial spots? Someone said they come out of the three pc. bicentennial set?

Russ

OOPS! I was thinking 7070. I should pay more attention.

Correct. They are both readily available as singles, though.

I'm not sure which album you have, but for a complete Kennedy collection (including proofs), I believe there are 5 coins for 1976:
1976-P(no mintmark) clad
1976-D clad
1976-S silver
1976-S clad proof
1976-S silver proof

Does that make sense?

yes well how do I tell which one is which as far as the 40% silver ones?

One is a business strike, the other a proof.
