I have a set of first year clad coins that were struck in silver by accident.
1965 dime and quarter, 1971D half. I don't know how to post a picture.
What do people think about rarity and value?

Have them sent in for authenticity and grading. If they are the real deal, they would worth about agood amount, but not outstanding. Depends on your buying audience.
All are PCGS AU 53 to AU 55.
I have pics, I don't know how to post it.

I'd like to have a 1965 dime or quarter on a 90% planchet one of these days, as that's my birthyear.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

They sound nice. They are indeed rare and valuable, although the market for them is rather thin, at those values, compared to some other coins.

I am surprised that the value would "not be outstanding." I've never seen one of these coins offered, but then again I'm not a big collector of modern coins.

I looked them up, and graded ones sell for appx. $4K to $5K for the 1965 silver dime, and $5K to $10K for the 1965 silver quarter.

I'd guess around 20 dimes, ten quarters, and five halfs but I've heard various estimates.
Edit to add: I am STILL kicking myself for not buying a 1966 dime on a 90% silver dime planchet many years ago. Haven't seen one since!

What was the price?

This must have been around 20 years ago more or less, and I think the coin was XF or AU and it was $1,800. Now you know why I'm kicking myself over that lost opportunity.

Ever thought about expanding your set by getting even more off metals from that era? Personally, I like pieces that are transitional wrong denomination such as; 1964 Lincoln cents struck on clad dime planchets or 1964 Kennedy halves struck on clad 25C planchets.
