Pretty cool finds!
Are you sure 1971 was the first year for clad coins? I remember when they were introduced in 1965. We all thought our coins were now worthless and it would be the end of the country! Luckily, we were wrong.

Hi dieselfool
The half?s were a little different , dimes and quarters went clad in 1965. Kennedy half?s went from 90 percent silver in 1964 to 40 percent 1965-1970
