Copper-nickel coins for the dime and quarter started with coins dated 1965. The half-dollar remained 40% silver from 1965-1970 when it was changed in 1971 to copper-nickel removing all the silver of it.

Where is the mint mark on a 1965 US half dollar?

The use of mint marks on US coins was suspended during 1965-67 so that the mints could catch up with demand for clad coinage after most silver coins were hoarded and melted. Because of that, it's not possible to tell which of the 3 mints struck a particular coin having any of those dates.

Two elements used in coins?

silver and clad(clad is a mix of silver and copper).


What the difference between clad coins and regular coins?

Clad coins are regular coins, all US dimes, quarters, half's and dollars made since 1965 to date are "clad". Each coin has a center core of pure copper and a layer of copper-nickel or silver on both sides of the coins. The only coins made for circulation after 1965 that had any silver were the 1965 to 1969 Kennedy half dollars but they are 40% "silver clad" coins.


Does a clad coin stick to a magnet?

"clad" coins with little or no silver contentCorrectionIt depends on what the coin is made of. US clad coins are mostly copper, with a small amount of nickel to give them a silvery color. While pure nickel does stick to a magnet there's so much copper (about 92% overall) that the coins don't stick. Some German coins (pre-euro) were made of steel clad with cupronickel, and these coins did stick to magnets.


When did they start making layered quarters?

The actual term is "clad" rather than "layered". Clad coinage of dimes and quarters started in 1965 when silver became too expensive to use in coins. Half dollars were struck in clad silver from 1965 to 1969, but by 1971 they too were made out of copper-nickel like the smaller coins.

What is the value of a 1966 S quarter?
