1970.

Of course this could be a trick question that I missed if the mint produced all the 40% silver bicentennial halves in 1975!

[EVillageProwler]

Pls change my answer to 1976.

Seems too simple .... 1970

[halfnut-migration]

This could be a trick question but I think a few of the Modern commems were 90 % so I will say 1970 with the Kennedys
