1965 Uncirculated 5-Coin Birth Year Set
Coins:
Lincoln Memorial Cent
Jefferson Nickel
Roosevelt Dime
Washington Quarter
Kennedy Half Dollar
Mint Mark:
In order to alleviate the coin shortage, the Mint removed the mint marks from all coins this year.
Composition:
Because silver prices had risen far above the nominal value of the dime and quarter, these coins were struck in a special "clad" composition for the first time. For these coins, a layer of copper is sandwiched between two layers of nickel.
The Kennedy Half, however, contained 40% silver in 1965.
Display/ Storage:
2" x 6" Whitman Hard Plastic Protective Snap Case
** So sorry about not being able to take better pics. Both my camera and I both suck at that task. =(
