Is there such a thing as a 1965 dime and/or half made on a 90% silver planchet?

SanctionII

I have heard about a 1965 90% silver quarter, but not a 1965 90% silver dime or half.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

I have seen, in person, a 1965 silver dime, and also, believe it or not, a 1966 silver dime. I think both were slabbed by ANACS. Unfortunately, at the time I didn't have enough money to buy either of them.

Yes.

Yes, and I have one in stock.......

along with some other very unusual "Transitional"
and "Reverse Transitional" Wrong Planchet or
Wrong Metal coins..........

There's a Transitional 1965 90% Silver Washington sitting in the Heritage Virtual Browse, and Fred Weinberg has a Transitional 1965 90% Silver Rossie 10c in his inventory right now.

I don't want to steal the thread or anything, but my question seems to go along with it.

I recently received a 1965 quarter in change, when the clerk put it into my had I heard the distinct sound of silver. When I got to the car it was a 1965 quarter, but the edge has copper on it. Is it possible that the composition may vary on the transitional pieces?

You managed to hear the "sound of silver" when the clerk droped it in your hand, or on the counter?

I only question this as to your super sonic hearing if it's in your hand?

As I only hear the "sound of silence" when a quarter is dropped on flesh!

I'm sorry for being a smart arse I couldn't help it.

Are there any known 1965 quarters struck on 40% silver half stock?

Not to my knowledge.

There's almost everything else but not this.

At the Milwaukee ANA show, there was an exhibit with a 1965 Cent struck on a silver dime planchet.

I seem to recall that the old Steiner/Zimpfer error catalog listed under wrong stock errors a 1965 quarter struck on a planchet punched from half dollar stock, until I wrote them and asked if it was actually 40% silver rather than copper-nickel clad.

They checked the reports, and as best they could tell the reported specimen was thick copper-nickel clad rather than 40% silver, and somebody in the past had mis-attributed it as half dollar stock without realizing that half dollar stock should be silver. Eventually the listing got changed.

Here are some pictures I took while I was in Milwaukee this past summer. I thought you Guys would like to see them, even though they are not Dimes!



I found these to exciting even though I collect Dimes.

Later, Paul.
