Found 1969 D in Marion King clock 0

[mkpj1]

I am a picker and found a Marion King Model 72 clock at an estate sale. I was cleaning it up mostly to double my money based on silver content.  One of the Kennedys was a 69 D. I am not a coin collector or expert other than the fact I collect silver in general. I have researched this coin but the issue is the value can vary drastically on the rating. Sorry, but I cant tell the difference from 64 to 67!  I just would like some advice on whether I should take this coin serious as a collector item or just move on for the silver content. I have hundreds of silver coins just for the melt value but this coin looks like it may be more valuable. I really appreciate any responses and your knowledge.

I have attached photos, please let me know and I can try to get better pictures if needed.

The 69s are only 40 percent silver. Myself personally don't believe its worth fooling with if I didn't collect coins. It not worth very much.

You probably get whole lot more out of the clock by fixing it. You got a good looking base to work with. You could fix it fairly cheap. That is a beautiful clock.

Welcome to the forum.

The coin is worth its melt value - currently, approximately $3.50.

Good morning.

Thanks for the reply’s. It is a nice clock and it does have the movement but last owner left battery in it. New one is about ten bucks so I agree on restoring to working order.

Hope you all have a good day,

Ken
