This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
The Kennedy Half Dollar was a coin first issued in 1964, a year after the death of President John F Kennedy. The 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar was composed of 90 percent pure silver, and 10 percent pure copper. The 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar was the only year the Kennedy Half Dollar that was 90 percent pure silver. From 1965 to 1970, the Kennedy Half Dollar was composed of a total of 40 percent pure silver, with the outer layer of the 1965 to 1970 Kennedy Half Dollar being composed of 80 percent silver and 20 percent copper, and the inner core of the Kennedy Half Dollar being composed of 79 percent copper and 21 percent silver.
