How can you tell you got a high relief Kennedy?

A high relief Kennedy half dollar can be identified by its prominent, raised features compared to a standard coin. The most noticeable characteristics are the depth of the portrait and the distinct separation of elements, such as the hair details and the inscriptions. Additionally, if you hold the coin at an angle, the light will create pronounced shadows on the elevated areas, enhancing the three-dimensional appearance. Collectors often refer to these coins as having a "deep" or "high" relief quality.


1977 Kennedy half dollar that rings like it has silver in it could this be true?

No 1977 halves were struck in silver. It's also very difficult to tell by a coin's ring because clad coins are frequently irregular internally due to thickness differences that occur as the clad stock is rolled out. Look at the coin's edge. If it's copper-colored like the edge of a quarter or dime, you have an ordinary copper-nickel circulation half that's worth face value.


How can you tell if your 1969 quarter is silver?

It isn't. No 1969 quarters are silver. Silver quarters were only made in 1964 and before. All quarters from 1965-present are copper-nickel. There isn't even a 1969 commemorative quarter that was struck in silver. There is no possible way for it to be silver.


Are the stones on a 925 sun ring real?

The question is not are they real, but are they genuine. 925 means sterling silver. Whether they are genuine- we can't tell without seeing the ring. Ask a jeweler to look at it.

How can you tell the difference between a 1922 Peace High or Low Relief Silver Dollar?

The difference is in the height that the design details extend out from the surface. High reliefe coins tend to not get fully struck up on the high points of the design -- especially in the hair above the ear. Pictures of the high & low relief coins can be seen on CoinFacts, using the link below.
