It doesn't. 1970 was the last year the US mint made half dollars for circulation in silver (halves dated 1964 and prior are 90% silver, those dated 1965-1970 are 40% silver). No 1971 half dollars are struck in silver.

Please turn your coin over and look at the denomination on the back. JFK is on the half dollar, not the dollar or quarter.Plus, all circulating half dollars dated 1971 and later were struck in cupronickel, not silver. Look at the edge. You can see the copper core quite clearly.

What is the value of a 1964 halfsilver dollar?

Depends on what you want to know for. Some collectors will pay more than the $15 you could get for the silver content. Technically the silver dollar is worth about $30, but not many will pay that much. Might be an anomaly on it somewhere which raises value. If you're talking about the Kennedy half dollar, it is worth half as much for the silver value, maybe 3/4ths of the silver dollar. Not worth much to a collector.

90%-silver half dollars were minted from 1794 to 1964 at 5 different mints so that's an extremely broad question. You need to know the coins' dates and mint marks before you can determine how much they're worth. Check a site such as www.numismedia.com for more information on values, and www.coinfacts.com for pictures and mint mark locations.If you have half dollar coins dated 1965 to 1969 they are made of 40% silver and are worth a couple of bucks for their metal content.Half dollars minted in 1971 and later are made of cupronickel and are only worth 50¢
