In 1965 the U.S. Mint removed all silver from all dimes and quarters and reduced the silver content in Kennedy half dollars from 90% to 40%. Actually, the mint changed the alloy from which the coins were struck using a base metal alloy for the core and adding a silver coating to the outside of the coins. These Kennedy halves (1965-1969) are known as 'clads' because they are clad in silver. After 1969 all circulating U.S. coins were struck without silver. A '40% Silver Bag' consists of 2000 Kennedy half dollars minted between 1965 and 1969.
