    To EagleRJO: Thank you for your help with your positive supportive comments to me about my coin. Thank you also for challenging VBK's arrogant remarks relative to my inquiry. I believe that trying to reason with him is akin to reasoning withTrump. Might as well just beat your head against a brick wall.

    To VKB: Do you get off being such a pompous, arrogant bully? It sure looks like it. I came to this site with very little numismatic experience seeking help in identifying what I found to be a strange coin. Most have been helpful, but not you. You belittled me and treated me like child. Shame on you! I hope the moderators seriously consider censuring your behavior and restricting your access to post such vehement messages. FYI, I am, in fact, a 71-year old retiree who will not be utilizing this site for any further numismatic help or advice.

    No surprise to most here that the SG of my coin is 8.874 suggesting that it is not a silver coin. Thanks again to all who shared their thoughts and opinions regarding my inquiry. And, no more coin cleaning for me!

    Thank you for the replies, especially to Sandon and EagleRJO for your specific answers to my questions and suggestions for further identification. I have included an edge comparison photo showing Kennedy halves dated 1994(clad), 1968(40%), my 1971(???) and 1964(90%). And, after some light cleaning with distilled water, mild liquid soap and a very soft toothbrush, higher resolution photos of my coin. I shall be conducting a specific gravity test tomorrow after Amazon delivers a digital scale.

    I have what I believe is a 1971-D Kennedy halve struck on a 40% silver planchet. Research has suggested that an official certification is required to establish whether my coin is one of these rare examples. I have been advised not to attempt any cleaning of the coin. Does the certification process include cleaning prior to encapsulation? Also, does the certification include condition grading of the coin? Obviously, a total newbie here so any assistance or guidance sincerely appreciated. Photos attached.
