Is it an error to have no mint mark on a Kennedy 1776-1976 200 year freedom half dollar?

I'm pretty sure Philly didn't put a mm on them that year

 

Nope. That was minted in Philadelphia, no mint mark on those.

 

That's what I thought. Just figured I would ask.

 

Dont have a red book?

 

yes

 

Yes, and my coin Weighs at 11.2. Does that mean that it is silver cloud? It says on here that Silvercloud could wait 11.50.

 

Never heard of silver cloud. Do you mean silver clad?

 

LOL, yes silver clad!

 

my red book does not say anything about the price of it. So I guess it is not worth anything being it has no mint mark. It also says nothing about a mint Mark. I also have a strike it rich book and a cherry pickers guide. But none of them say anything about it.

 

If I am reading my Red Book right there are no Silver 76's except for S mint mark ones. Check the rim just in case.

 

Check the rim for what?

 

Silver, it won't look copper.

 

It looks copper and silver. So I guess it is nickel clad

 

Yeah, if it was silver it should look like this, without the chip though:

 

mine does not look like that. It looks copper

 

Ok, then it's a common coin.

 

Yeah, I kind of got that. That's ok. It is one that my husband brought home with him today.

 

That's cool. If you ever get the chance buy a box of halves from the bank and search for silvers, it can be fun.
