{{/presale}}While most US coins today may look silver, modern American coins are made of a cupro-nickel alloy combining copper and nickel to increase durability. Before 1970, many US coins contained at least 40% silver, and before that, they had up to 90% silver content. Right now, you can purchase $100 (USD) face value bags of 40% Silver Coins from BGASC.
Highlights:
This listing allows you to buy a total of $100 (USD) in US half-dollar coins, with each coin guaranteed to have 40% silver content. This bag includes 200 individual half-dollar coins, each with a face value of $.50 (USD). BGASC does not guarantee the condition or specific year of the coins in this bag, but we ensure that each half-dollar coin contains 40% silver, with a total face value of $100 (USD).
Obverse
The obverse of each half-dollar coin in this 40% Silver Coins bag showcases the left-profile portrait of President John F. Kennedy. Following his tragic death in 1963, Gilroy Roberts designed this portrait, with Liberty above, the year below, and the motto In God We Trust.
Reverse
On the reverse of each coin is the Presidential Seal, designed by Frank Gasparro. It depicts an American bald eagle with the US national seal on its chest, holding an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other, symbolizing peace and strength.
History
Before 1964, US silver coins, such as dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and silver dollars, contained 90% silver. However, rising silver prices in the 1960s led the US Mint to reduce silver content in circulation coins to keep production costs manageable. In 1965, the silver content in half-dollar coins was lowered to 40%.
The last US coins with 40% silver were the Kennedy Half-Dollars, introduced in 1964 as a tribute to President John F. Kennedy. This design replaced Benjamin Franklin on the half dollar shortly after Kennedys assassination. Today, Kennedys image remains on cupro-nickel half-dollar coins.
