    Description

    JFK 40% Silver Half Dollar 6 Coin Set
    This, of course, included Kennedy half dollars, which in 1966 were still riding a high tide of popularity despite having no mintmarks and a paltry
    40 percent
    silver composition (as opposed to the 90 percent silver makeup that it had in 1964).
    In 1965, after just one year of minting, the silver content of the Kennedy Half Dollar was reduced to 40% where it remained through 1970. After that, a clad alloy was introduced with a copper core sandwiched between outer layers of copper-nickel. The modern coins contain no silver at all.
