Prior to then they were silver. Half dollars pretty much the same (see Belthos' note above) as well as dimes. In other words, the gubmint went cheap on us in '65 and went to what's known as "clad coins". Most silver coins were hoarded decades ago. FWIW there is one fairly rare Susan B. coin in existence but I forget the details on it. I do remember that it is a proof so it is highly polished and will be stamped S for San Francisco. Check out your pennies closely. There were some very rare ones made along the way. I'm a novice at this stuff but coins are kinda fun.</blockquote>
