[QUOTE="SolarYellow, post: 16356985, member: 31223"] In 1965 coins (dimes and quarters) started being minted with clad rather than silver planchets because the value of silver was increasing substantially and the intrinsic value of the metal was worth more than face value. There are exceptions such as the Kennedys (40% up to 1970 but 1971 went clad), the uncirculated bicentennial set with the S mark, '71-'74 Ike's (S mark) are 40%, etc.., Finding a silver coin in a handful of change is easily done by sound. Silver and clad coinage make two distinctively sounds when shaken or banged together. Up above Bob showed a 1989 Carson that he found in pocket change. Whomever did that must have been a moron as the value of silver far far far surpasses one dollar. Philly minted regardless, it is a nice coin to find especially in change. [/QUOTE]
