Title: 1971 Silver?
Review: I'm not aware of any silver or silver clad coins minted (even in error) in 1971. I'm not saying any deception was intented, only that the coin is a copper-nickel clad coin that has been misidentified as silver.40% Silver-clad 50 cent pieces dated 1965-1969 were minted, and 1970 silver clad 50 cent pieces were also minted (for collectors only, not released for circulation). In 1971, One-Dollar Eisenhower 40% Silver-clad pieces were sold by the mint for collectors (again, not for general circulation), but to my knowledge all 1971 Kennedy Halves (even those minted for collectors) are composed of copper and nickel. My suggestion would be to take the coin to a reputable coin dealer (one that has been in business a long time)and have it graded. If you do have a genuine 1971 Silver/silver clad Kennedy 50 cent piece, it is very rare and worth much more than the value listed.
